Varsity Sing: Thixo Onothando

[@AnoRex770]

The way the altos carried the choir through this entire song! 💪

This is how God wanted us to b. One love. One world 🌍🌍🌍🌍💙love from Botswana 🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼

[@NegSteLucie]

If only that love went beyond choral performances.

[@bonginkositshabalala1854]

Most diverse choir, this shows how our country is progressing. Love South Africa

[@ruemissm6800]

Not really.. It's mostly white people..

[@Coach_Baltazar]

As Blacks we have a sense of being accommodated not belonging in the Social structure and superstructure of South Africa. Underline accommodated, Tolerated, .If there is progress, why is it that only Blacks in SA are the only ones crazy about Reconciliation day. Until the White community and their civic groups take a bold stand to apologies for the atrocities committed by ancestors , there is no progress. Blacks are ready to forgive, move on and remove BEE policy. Instead, the white community is quick to cry foul on BEE yet they cant apologies. Healing starts with taking responsibility of the past genuinely so. This image of the video is a true reflection of the situation on the ground. We love whites wholeheartedly, but we hate their arrogance.

[@brycebourgeois9442]

@@Coach_Baltazar Sad to hear, you are not alone tho. I have been feeling the same way with the relationship between the settlers and Indigneous peoples of Canada, seems to be one sided reconciliation. Beautiful song tho really great!

What diversity? It's mostly white people and a few black people. There are no Indians, Coloureds, or East Asians

amazing. brilliant. not sure the 3 boys echoing worked for me. otherwise awesome work.

[@laQuaver]

I totally agree with you, especially the part where they echoed "Hosanna", their voice texture didn't do it for me...maybe the first guy was okay.

[@laQuaver]

However, their melodic split at the end to create a triadic harmony was perfect.
