Ron, Laaglanders,

Die korrekte inligting:
Die offisiële nasionale volkslied van Suid-Afrika bestaan uit 'n
deel van die Nguni (Zulu - Xhosa) asook Sesotho weergawe
van die lied "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" (God seën Afrika) asook 'n
deel van "Die Stem", in Afrikaans en Engels.

Die oorspronklike woorde en melodie van "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika"
is deur Enoch Sontonga geskryf (in Xhosa) en die melodie is die
van 'n Christelike kerklied.

"Die Stem" se woorde is deur C.J. Langenhoven geskryf
en deur M.L. de Villiers gekomponeer.

Groete,
Elsie Zinsser
