Springboks v England: Do you know the words to Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika?

The Springboks will face England in their 2023 Rugby World Cup semi-final at the Stade de France on Saturday, 21 October.

South Africa’s national anthem combines new English lyrics with extracts from the 19th-century hymn ‘Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika’ and the Afrikaans song ‘Die Stem van Suid-Afrika’.

‘Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika ’ is the official anthem of the African National Congress, while ‘Die Stem van Suid-Afrika ’ was the country’s national anthem during apartheid.The powers-that-be at the time decided to acknowledge both songs as national anthems.Today, South Africa’s anthem is the only neo-modal national anthem in the world, meaning it is the only one that starts in one key and finishes in another.
