It is a work song sung deep underground in the mines !!! A Zulu song ! Sung by men who had to work in the hot dusty noisy stopes ! Nearest thing to HELL ! Very hot like a sauna ! No white man could work hard in that heat but they could !!! I worked for 21 years 2kms under the ground nearly seven days a week in a South African Gold Mine ! Lived on the job as I was on standbye and worked every sunday until an underground sub station explosion ruined my confidence ! I was an underground electrician ! The ordinary guys who work down a gold mine are some of the bravest finest men you will ever meet ! Riggers, boilermakers and fitters and the men who have to crawl into ,"The Square" every day and mine gold ! Many come from Mozambique , Lesotho and Transkei ! One of the toughest jobs in the world ? But the biggest heroes are "Proto men" who go in to rescue people when there are accidents or falls of ground ! They are the biggest heroes of all !!!!
Sung on the trains to work to lift the spirits of mine workers... And then during sports matches in the stands to motivate the players and a staple when celebrating.. With our national anthem, just beautiful!
Very popular song and tune and sung by many south africans... foreigners who don't understand the language think it's spiritual and uplifting and it probably was to the migrant black mine workers , predominantly from rhodesia/zimbabwe.... the irony is the lyris basically mean 'Let's get out of sout africa' and was sung on the trains going home.... the sshhh is the noise the steam engines
I'm not sure if you're aware that the dance the choir is doing, is what is well known as Mandela Dance. You gotta love this.😁❤🔥🇿🇦
Except it was originally a Zimbabwean song.

My South African friends sang it for me outside the Court House back in 1978 when I was deported from the country because I was against APARTHEID...

Ficou sensacional. Está música sempre me remete aos Springboks, seleção sul-africana de rúgbi tetracampeã mundial.
Belíssimo! Muitíssimo obrigada ❤❤❤
