about

Our national anthem (which is a mix between Enoch Sontonga’s Nkosi Sikelela and Die Stem) echoes the sentiment of being blessed by the fruits of this land. This song calls on these blessings to get one over the current hurdles that beset this land. It argues that there is the freedom to be free after these current hurdles. There is hope but it requires you to open up to the agency of being blessed.

lyrics

Chorus Sikelela X 4
{Be blessed}

Verse
Kune ntsikelelo emvhakwentaba
{There are blessings behind the mountain}
Kune ntsikelelo emvhakwentaba we ma X2
Embhakwentaba bo X 2
Chorus Sikelela X4

Verse
Kune ntsikelelo emvhakwentaba Kune ntsikelelo emvhakwentaba we ma X 2
Chorus Sikelela X 3
