There's no country like South Africa! Look at God's beauty. I pray that one day we will be able to resolve whatever differences we have, understand each other, unite, and live in peace.

Mark 15:34 In-Context
34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). 35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he's calling Elijah

So The Lyrics: -> Eloi

Kwasho Imvana (So said the Lamb) Eloi, lema sabachthani? Thixo wami (My Lord) Ungishiyeleni? (Why has thou forsaken me)

[Nomvulatshabalala.g]

Outstanding .it waters ones eyes when you connect to the Master when He cried Eloyi Eloyi on the cross.and realise Eloyi turned away from His Son for the first and last time in eternity IN ORDER TO EMBRACE US n get us into His Kingdoms🙏🏾

Zoe my girl with the soprano held her own in this arrangement, kudos. Both ladies sound beautiful!!!!

[mohauthamahane]

My introduction to TUKS Camerata was way back in 2008 when we (in the PMB Midlands Youth Choir) were listening to their beautiful rendition of James E Moore's "An Irish Blessing". I am forever grateful for the effort this choir puts into their brilliant work.
