#AnthemChallengeRSA | Over 1000 South Africans Perform Our Anthem

As SA went into Covid-19 lockdown, over 50 performers encouraged the nation to DO something powerful. To reflect on the lyrics of our anthem, as a source of inspiration and optimism, and to bravely sing it out loud.

This is the result of over 1000 South Africans coming together, virtually to celebrate unity, and diversity, through a song that represents our freedom.
