The Maxter Group

What is being called the decolonised South African National Anthem is a new version of Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika that was rewritten by a student, Koketso Poho, and has been sung by students around the country to encapsulate and legitimise their cause...

Lyrics:

Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika (God Bless Africa)
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo, (May her spirit rise high up)
Yizwa imithandazo yethu, (Hear thou our prayers)
Sibe moya munye (To be united in one spirit)
Noma sekunzima emhlabeni (Even through hard times in this world)
Sihlukunyezwa kabuhlungu (When we are painfully abused)
Nkosi siph' amandla okunqoba (Lord give us strength for victory)
Silwe nosathane. (To fight the devil)

We, the people of South Africa,
Recognise the injustices of our past;
Honour those who suffered for justice and freedom in our land;
Respect those who have worked to build and develop our country; and
Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity.
We therefore, through our freely elected representatives, adopt this Constitution as the supreme law of the Republic so as to ­
Heal the divisions of the past and establish a society based on democratic values, social justice and fundamental human rights;
Lay the foundations for a democratic and open society in which government is based on the will of the people and every citizen is equally protected by law;
Improve the quality of life of all citizens and free the potential of each person; and
Build a united and democratic South Africa able to take its rightful place as a sovereign state in the family of nations.

May God protect our people.
Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika.

“M” - is for the Million things she gave me
“O” - means only that she’s growing old
“T” - is for the tears she shed to save me
“H” - is for her heart of purest gold
“E” - is for her eyes, with love-light shining
“R” - means right, and right she’ll always be

Put them all together, they spell “Mother”
A word that means the world to me...

Lyrics:
Mme Motswadi
Kea go rata o motswadi waka
Wa nkhudisha ka lerato, wa mphidisha
Mme Motswadi
Kea go rata o motswadi waka
O mpha maatla ka nako tsotlhe Mme Motswadi

Mama, Mama you know I love you (You know I love you)
Mama, Mama you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars, yes it is
Mama I just want you to know
Lovin' you is like food to my soul
