The people you work with are proud to sing the national anthem but do they know the words and understand them? Quite a few of them need a little encouragement and education. So why not stimulate interaction by inviting a local celebrity/ musician (or a colleague who can sing really well) to teach the anthem to your co-workers.
Let’s learn the anthem and sing it loud...the world will be listening.
National Anthem of South Africa
Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.
Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
O fedise dintwa la matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
Setjhaba sa South Afrika - South Afrika.
Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,
Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,
In South Africa our land.
There are various opportunities within your working environment waiting to be explored. Why not email the anthem to the staff and your clients. Play it over the PA system during lunch/social hours or use it as the background tune on your phone holds? The possibilities are endless
