    Being in Limpopo Province and my daughter in Cape town at a time such as this, is heart breaking. Watching her sing, while listening to these heavenly voices, takes away the pain of not being with her physically and keeps us connected in a very special way. Thank you Stellenbosch!

This song...this version will be playing at my wedding...waiting on the Album Andre...looking at the choir members I would believe you asked them to set there focus themselves on those they wont give up on someone,because thats the look they had in this rendition.
