Nkosi sikelela was written by a South African Enoch Sontonga in 1897 or so, originally in isiXhosa and Sesotho, when did it become a gift from Zim? Don't deceive people please

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

The melody of that him is from Zim 🇿🇼 I researched and found that l. That's why there's this confusion about the origin. So Sir Enoch Sontonga wrote his ordinal lyrics but I the 'beat' of a 🇿🇼 hymn. Hey... Zim hymn. That's the gift. The gift was the keys 🎹 🎹 🎹

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

@@ledwinmampho1861 you're misinformed my friend. Nkosi sikelela is a South African song which was written and then sung over a 🇿🇼 hymn. The 'lyrics' are from 🇿🇦 and the 'beat' is from 🇿🇼 That's the story 📝

[@richardchaupe7231]

You are right Enoch Sonthonga composed the song then Zambia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe learnt it and it’s still sang in Zambia and Tanzania

[@SibusisoHlophe-dp5lq]

@@richardchaupe7231 wrote the song. The gift from 🇿🇼 is the original hymn. It's still sung even today. He wrote those lyrics on the already existing hyms which has different lyrics.

Perhaps I’m not aware of them reacting to our content but I’m just stating my opinion and what I’m seeing as an increasing trend. Also my statement comes from the fact that SA is the highest YT consumer on the continent and it just feels like it’s the most capitalist easy money making scheme to exploit.

Ok, its a bit confusing for me how 2 Americans can want to comment on or react to a sketch as purely South African as this! They don't even understand or know anything about South Africa and its history or culture. Also, Americans speak a grand total of 1 language & they literally massacre that language! So, please explain to me how Americans are competent to comment on or react to this sketch, let alone understand it properly?

[@rudolphvanrooyen2655]

We whities, were taught singing Nkosi Sikele in Zulu, the language it was written in. The Anthem is written in different lanuages and does not capture the true reverence

[@w.a.l6518]

What are you saying?

[@sonofsoweto]

​@w.a.l6518 he is saying that the original version is not in a mix language

[@Arthwell1]

@rudolphvanrooyen2655, but it was written in Xhosa, bhy a Xhosa prophet🤣

[@w.a.l6518]

​@@sonofsoweto that's untrue. The national anthem is a hymn mixed with the old national anthem. The old national anthem is the part where you sing in Afrikaans and English. Enoch Sontong wrote the hymn in three native languages.

[@w.a.l6518]

​@@Arthwell1He was definitely Xhosa but didn't write the national anthem in Xhosa only. He was not a prophet.

And then Zuma went on to create a looting spree that killed his own people and cost their jobs. This is old. South Africans know what the anthem means, we know. It is a prayer to God. Even if they do not know the translations, they respect it. Because they know it is a prayer to God for Africa. This is old and I would love it if Trevor would redo this comedy skit now. America messed him up and even accused him of being racists which was ridiculous. Language: isiXhosa and isiZulu Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika (God Bless Africa) Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo, (Raise high Her glory) Yizwa imithandazo yethu, (Hear our Prayers) Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo (God bless us, we her children) Language: Sesotho Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso, (God protect our nation) O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho, (End all wars and tribulations) O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso, (Protect us, protect our nation) Setjhaba sa South Afrika - South Afrika.

Stop lying because several countries in Africa have this national anthem it's just that it sounds better singing it in our South African language's that's why it is well known as the South African national anthem

[@Avu0402]

The hymn the anthem is based on is an originally South African hymn composed by Enoch Sontoga around 1897. It was then translated and adapted into multiple languages. It was used in multiple struggles songs and anthems across Africa hence so many similar sounding old and newer anthems. But the fact remains it is based on a South African hymn

[@kamogeloseekoei1640]

The original Nkosi Sikelela was written by South African song composer Enoch Sontonga It was adopted by several other African countries.
