Hidden within this performance are the tones of voices that love to sing, that love to cooperate one with another, that love this melody and these words.And this love communicates.This love moves hearts and minds.So I say thank you, THANK YOU, for this blissful journey you have taken me on.

The voices and the images are fantastic. Mother Nature is really spectacular! There's nothing more powerful, beautiful and amazing! She brought us here, She gave us life and She will take us back to Her when our day comes.

South Africa’s best community choir sings SA’s greatest choral masterpiece. Hardly can get better.

The mournful sound conveys the mood and message of the song so well... Sung with clarity, emotion and incredible harmony... Well done as always, CTYC 👍

Loved it!!! Tears goosebumps and smiles all at the same time, you guys are amazing. I absolutely loved this song during my time in SA, a memory of me driving silently across the Bloukrans bridge and then this song spellbindingly comes in its crescendo, that memory will always stay in my soul!
