"Madoda Sabelani" is a poignant song by Loyiso Gijana, composed as a response to the escalating incidents of gender-based violence in South Africa. The song's title translates to "Men Must Answer" in isiXhosa, a Nguni Bantu language. It serves as a powerful call to action, urging an end to the cycle of abuse and violence against women. The song holds personal significance for the artist as it is dedicated to his friend Uyinene Mrwetyana, who was tragically murdered in 2019. This song encapsulates a heart-rending plea and a solemn remembrance, making it not just a piece of music but a significant social statement.
First time I heard it, it made me cry. I understand the language alright but I immediately thought about women and girls being called up in the army in Ukraine to fight a meaningless war for the benefit of the warmongers in Washington DC and their military industrial complex!
@@mobydick5046 Your comment began rationally but quickly deteriorated into silliness. That’s quite a stretch in connecting the meaning of this song to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the American military/industrial complex. So far, only Ukrainian female medical personnel must register and many women have already volunteered. Many have also died while serving. The American military/industrial complex is a real thing but you need to also look at Russia. Their entire economy is basically a military/industrial complex. Russia produces no consumer goods, computers, cars, phones and so on. They are an extraction economy, extracting oil and raw materials for export. They make nothing that anyone wants except for weapons, some foodstuffs, and fertilizer. And it was Russia who invaded Ukraine, not the US.

This is the greatest choir on the face of the earth. Not just because they are ranked #1 by Interkultur and not just because they sing with impossibly ethereal beauty, but because they embody the range of peoples of their beautifully diverse country, and because they honor the indigenous heritage of their country by singing in its indigenous languages and singing its people's stories. And because they bravely sing about things that Matter, like they do here. This is a prayer, a plea, to men to stop abusing women. It should be an international anthem. If you are not moved by this to the depths of your being, even if you don’t know the language, check to see if you are breathing.
Spot on, I don't know which country you are writing from but what you say about the value of embracing indigenous language, I couldn't say it better than the way you put it. This is the essence of reconciliation!

I live in America in the state of Pennsylvania. Sex trafficking is a real thing here as well. Thank you so much for sharing this prayer with the world. May the Lord Jesus Christ help those who have been enslaved by man's wickedness.
If I start shouting and run naked in these Sheffield streets people will think that I am crazy😭😭Haiboo you gyzzz🙆🏽Someone get me a Scholarship already for crying out loud😭Am ready please😭This choir is making me cry every time. I miss Africa now🇳🇦😭
Once again, the Legend Oliver Mtukudzi is validated. I paraphrase him: "The more painful the story a song tells, the more beautiful we must make the music." There is virtually nothing about great choral music that arranger, conductor, inspirational leader Andre van der Merwe and this genius choir don't get.
I'm Zambian 🇿🇲and the love I have for South African melody is just beyond measure. Reading through the comments learning about the message behind the song makes me drop a tear, the soothing melody makes it even worse😭. How can a choir be this perfect and sound so angelic ❤ If I'm to relocate or find myself doing a program in SA it definitely will be Stellenbosch just so I get to sing in this beautiful choir❤❤❤
It has been an absolute privilege to be able to perform this beautiful piece with so many talented souls❤ Stellenbosch University Choir will forever have my heart🥹❤️
My biggest dream is enrolling at Stellenbosch when I’m done with high school.😭🤩 listening to them sing makes me want to be apart of their choir, i love how they’re able to make you feel the emotions and the stories behind all the songs they sing. It’s not just about the beautiful voices but also about taking us on a journey as they sing. Forever grateful 🥹
Morning Mr Choir Master I don't who they give Grammy awards to,but you deserve one,may the Lord our grand Master 🙏 keep you,you are the epitome of unity
I’m American and discovered this choir a number of years ago. They never fail to impress me and to stir my emotions with their glorious sound, the best in the world. Terrific voices and a superb choir director. Thank you Stellenbosch.
If only we could fully appreciate the beauty of our educational institutions and the immense value of sending our children to them. It's not just about acquiring knowledge; it's also about the enriching social experiences, like participating in choral groups, that foster personal growth and connection.
This is purely a powerfull message to us man sang so beautifully by this choir. I am totally taken aback by the talent and I PLEDGE TO PROTECT, LOVE AND PROVIDE FOR THE FEMALE SPECIES. I say no to #GBV
The unique thing about this choir is that the same sound it had when I did my Undergrad there in 2018 is still the same quality of sound they carry now. Andre van de Merwe, this is not just a talent at this point, it's a calling
My goodness im crying 😭 this song never touched me this way before until i listened to this choir the choir master is good kudos to the one wjo came up with this arrangement 🎉
The "Ngenelela!" cry is one that gets my heart crying 😢 You did this so carefully, earnestly and incredibly good 👏🇿🇦 May we give our all to answer the call 🙏
This is incredible!! Made me cry ,I felt every note ..thank you for touching my heart ..what does this song mean ?? I am listening from the countryside in -Co.Kerry ,Ireland 🇮🇪 I am a Irish woman who played African music /djembe with a group for years ..I adore the African culture ❤ I am a singer and I love choirs too ..I am in heaven right now and God bless you all .. shalom from Ireland 🇮🇪
Madoda sabelani was exceptional! Conveying the emotion and meaning behind the lyrics was beautiful. The choir captured the essence of the song's message and it was truly moving. The vocal dynamics and precision demonstrated their incredible talent and dedication. Bravo to the entire choir for a stunning rendition🥰 10/10
This arrangement😢😢😢… The first girls section from 0:04 to 0:15 seconds is such very attractive phrase that got my attention immediately! Another thing about this version is that it’s interpreted perfectly by the the choice of notes (chords) and dynamics, You could hear the cry. The Choir is definitely out of this world.. The man behind this arrangement is very special.. Choir Master ( a master class for sure)❤️
I first heard this song when Lloyiso performed it on his Instagram and it moved me to tears. It will forever be a song that tugs at my heart strings and I love seeing my favourite South African choir performing it. ❤️ Never stop singing 🥺
Praise the name of our CREATOR of HEAVENS and EARTH , may HIS name be blessed , these VOICES are fantastic , guys thanks for all your videos , whenever I listen to this choir voices my soul goes somewhere I dont know , so perfect may GOD bless yall brothers and sister..

So amazingly beautiful and such powerful music! This choir astounds me; the balance, blend, sonority of these singers is incredible. And……your musicality is the best! Congratulation to this choir and their amazing director for attaining such a high level of musicianship! Bravi tutti!!!!!
I have mixed emotions. 🙌 Stellies Choir always deliver 👌🎶🎵🎼🇿🇦 Happy and sad at the same time...lyrics and the GBV pandemic in SA. Beautiful and comforting voices though.
Listening to this greatness on repeat. Heart stirring, gut wrenching goodness. The contradiction of a sublime prayer about something so tragic, i.e. GBV

Madoda Sabelani (Listen,Hear Men)
I pray, Lord
For you to answer our prayers
You hear the cries
The women are weeping

Tough to argue against this
Actually they caused a miracle to happen in my life…
Perfectly expressed.
Thank you!
A choir that combines technical excellence with magnanimous expression is antechamber of heaven.

Hit the like button if you repeated this masterpiece over and over again
This is a masterpiece on more dimensions than most other music masterpieces.
This should become THE international anthem of the fight against abuse of women everywhere. And RIP Uyinene Mrwetyana and all the others.
