[susanstehlik]

National Anthem for African People in South Africa. We must sing this in our stadiums even when we watch soccer. Activism has no special venue but wherever people are. Our land, our dignity, our humanity.

[PAMELAMOSE]

Liberation revolutionary always remind us of pain, tries and tribulations of our great grand parents, and grandparents went through because of the Apartheid Era oppression, segration I will always think back as I was born the yr Tat'Nelson Rholihlahla Mandela came out of prison freedom really came in SA✊✊

[phumelelendlovu]

This song tells you where Africa comes from and one cannot deny the motivation it gives an African child to play their part in modern day South Africa.

[lethuxaba.]

Still, even today, we, the Black Nation are still crying for our rightful land!

[bukw]

This is what keeps me a black in America upright and strong for my people. I LOVE YOU MY AFRICAN FAMILY ALWAYS FOREVER ONE peace.

[jadejade]

This should be our national anthem, I love it.

[S_Hawk_Eye]

Who else is listening in 2018 ? ..even though i don't understand the language but Thina Sizwe makes feel the pain off the black people in the past . As we get caught up in our busy lives in the years to come, We must never forget the history of this country and the people that gave thier lives for many of us to be were we are today or given us the opportunity to get to were we want to be. In the good times and bad times of our country Im still proud to be South African .

[phocasmaniraguha]

In 2018, who still need revolution and freedom for the African people? I need revolution and freedom for our human and for all African.

[thembimoloi]

[thatosanelisiwe]

Moved to tears! We come from far as a black people and still have so much further to go! Mabaw'yeke umhlaba wethu!

[sebonkilethaba]

This song is meant for the whole of Africa, we aren't free until the whole of Africa is UNITED

[lindilexaba]

Listening to this song, I can't help but think of the late Baba Mangaliso Sobukwe, Baba Clarence Makwe, Ntate Philip Kgosana

[mvusimlenzana]

-Sigh- the struggle was real guys, through these songs I can feel the pain of all those who sacrificed for me our freedom. WE SHALL NOT FORGET.

[rachellakhi]

Our struggle never seems to end! May all our fallen cde's rest in peace! Amandlaaaa!!!

[bonganikhumalobongani]

South Africa my country i thank all the leaders who fight for us. Thank you

[alexchijiokenebechi]

After listening to this beautiful song, I still see no reason why black South Africans still hates and sees other black living in South Africa as its enemy. We are suppose to be brothers but the rage in which they kill other black simply because they are working in South Africa still baffles me. My best friend elder brother was killed in South Africa for no single reason just because he is not a South African

[bongiwemabusela]

i just couldn't help myself as i was singing this song uncontrollable crying and saying when will we full attain our freedom as the looting of our resources by offshore companies continues to happen

[zulu]

Thank you my President for reminding us where we're coming from(THINA SIZWE)
