A soundtrack to almost all 80's movies

WannaHowzit:
Man these images of yours are dope!

thanx

XhosaNostra:
Ovius! With rich & soulful voices, unlike the crickets "singing" in the other one. They're lacking "daai ding".

Haha

XhosaNostra:
This is the best version of "their" anthem I could find.

Compare abeg

My battery almost exploded while listening to the Tanzanian version .Was that a Zombie Apocalypse theme?


The South African version is much better obviously.It just reawakens the sense of national pride

XhosaNostra:


Have you heard their rendition of OUR anthem though? It's like the dying cries of a mountain goat clutched in the deadly claws of an eagle.

No I haven't.My ears are not ready.The description alone sounds chilling lol

iammo:
don't mind the this Xenophobic guy most of their black lazy people reside in dirty slums, only Nigerians, Chinese and White reside in the better part of the town and that's why they envy us

@JaceBlaze @MzansiBeat which of this shanties are you tweeting from, Identify your hut so that we can bring you your drugs

I'm typing from the rusty shack in the middle.Well...considering where you come from I'm not at all surprised that you think Hillbrow is the best part of town.

XhosaNostra:
Shame he doesn't know lol. We should, instead, sue THEM for singing it with such horrible voices

You mean kwerekwere voices?

iammo:
did this ungrateful guy just use "Of all People" to qualify Nigeria.. I mean black SouthAfricans that their lazy leaders used this same green Nigerian Passport to travel across the globe to negotiate their freedom from whites in their own land, while we contribute to them and their struggle ..

This is why we stopped helping people, just imagine.. SouthAfricans of yesteryears with lucky dube singing his trash to beg us for help and Mandela practically hiding in Nigeria... anyways I know its not you talking its the cheap drug you just bought from one of our G guys, so I forgive your rant, try and apologise when the drug clears out of your system


.

And you saying I'm the one who's high off drugs?...

XhosaNostra:
Lol, the way they like to brag about NL, like it's a real world.

Fact of the matter is, we're posting from within the borders of our country, while some are gurgling all this garbage sitting in South Africa & not in their West African "paradise". Real truth on the ground, not all this senseless talk about a "land" in virtual space.

Americans are not complaining that the whole world uses their Facebook but Gwarimpians are complaining about NL

And what I find hilarious is that the guy who built this forum is not complaining about people from other countries being here.His vision goes beyond the borders of Gwarimpa.

Kazikazi:
Kwikwikwi kwikwikwi
FYI,Tanzania is in a huge industrialization programs which upon completion will make all SADC nations to come to stock everything in TZ and that will be the final bye bye of SA.Remember, we will have a lot of cheap stuff,no one will go buy anything from SA because you overcharge on everything. You have about 2 or 3 years from now of enjoying that tag of " the continent's most industrialized nation"!. When these 2,or 3 years lapses,United republic of Tanzania will grab that tag.

We gave u a national anthem for free.Remember, we sang our antherm from 1961 in December till now.Do u know we can sue you if we want to?

Oh wow!!

Angelfrost:
Yet, you and your fellow "Intellectuals" just can't seem to stay away...

Is there no South African owned blog big enough to solely accommodate the lots of you??!... No offense, just curious!!!

No! we don't have it and we are not dying to have one.The imbeciles here are to entertaining for us to leave.


NEXT!!!

iammo:
you sound so uneducated, check the trade volume between South Africa and Zimbabwe.. its over $2billion USD take that out of your 349.4 billion USD recession GDP and see if you economy would fare any better any time soon.. you blacks southafricans are some kind of creatures, I still wonder why we help you people get out of apartheid cos you deserved to be ruled

Author Nigerian of all people just called us creatures

Jaqenhghar:
Crystal clear. Similar to Sam Cooke's chain gang song. Soulful and rich.
On a lighter note. It seems everywhere the white man really suppressed the negro, the blacks there really became gifted in singing

Ahaah!


Spot on @ the bolded.I think hardships have a way of bringing the best out of people.That's why South African songs are sang with so much soul,they reflect hardships of the past.Same with African Americans who were singing in the cotton fields.

XhosaNostra:
We supposedly detest foreigners or in this Zimbabweans & yet we clothe/feed them. It's not the same Zimbabweans that go from house to house asking for old clothes, which we give to them free of charge & they take back to Zimbabwe, to sell? They have been doing this since the 90s. I've given them bags of clothing myself over the years. They're in desperate need of baby clothes, in particular, because they keep breeding like cockroaches. Nobody will ever accuse South Africans of not extending a helping hand when we can.

You have said it all sister.Zimbabweans should be the last to complain about South Africa cause I can't think of any group of foreign nationals that has benefited greatly from the South African social system than Zimbos.They get rewarded for breeding like roaches.

dalass:
Fence ke?

Zimbabwe has not reported any Corona virus case and yet they want to keep them off.

Issues like these are too complex for your 5th world IQ.I believe your opinion only matters in OLOSHOism affairs

iammo:
SouthAfrica battling recession should be making friends and not enemies, who would buy goods produced by xenophobic folks? you build a fence on me i might as well boycott your product and services

to make matters worst SouthAfricans with low Imuinity due to HIV and AIDS pandemic would quickly open their doors to a white Italian,British or even Chinese so long he isnt black like them


.

As if a broken country like Zimbabwe can help a country like South Africa with recession.

I believe Nairaland is full of unrepentant dummies with depleted brain cells.

onadana:
Zimbabwe should be building the wall.So far there is no incident of the virus in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe won't build a wall.They would be doing themselves a great disservice with that since they are the ones dying to come to South Africa.Zim people will still rush to SA even if it was announced that an atomic bomb will explode in SA and wipe out the South African population.That's how much other Africans love us even with all our imperfections LOL.

OgunLaakaye:
SA trying to relate it with Corona Virus.

The primary purpose is because of migrants from Zimbabwe. SA just detest foreigners

Don't you the that's a strong word you just used?

I understand that most South Africans are not overfond of foreigners (reasonably so) but we don't detest them lol.

If that's how you look at this border closure issue then I guess it's only right for us to assume that you destest Ghanaians since you closed your border on them over jollof rice trading disputes,right?

Jaqenhghar:
Whays the meaning of Shosholoza. I remember one old song shosholoza. Reminds me of happy childhoods. My mum was crazy about SA and Congo music

I can understand why she felt how she felt .South African songs have soul and spirit-uplifting ingredients.


I don't know if I can explain the meaning efficiently in my own words but I hope this helps...

XhosaNostra:
The tin dey pain me still, no talk am

This is our year Jace, nomakanjani!

The tin don demoralised me like a student who dropped out of school after the last day of winter


That's the spirit.The Shosholoza will arrive at the destination by faya by force.

XhosaNostra:
Kikikiki. Only one line or you're still waiting for the ancestors to show you the rest?

I also prefer the PB over Lotto. Lotto jackpots take forever to bring out the money hungry devil spirit out of you I don't even bother, unless when it's above 50M.

Still waiting for the talisman to reveal the future


I have been holding grudges ever since that R250 million was won last year but I feel like I'm ready to go back in the game lol.Yeah lotto is greedy.

XhosaNostra:
Lotto jackpot is currently piss change, but powerball jackpot is doing its thang as usual. Will check them again come this Friday. I will not be kept away from my millions any longer lol.

I'm more of a powerball guy.

I got my numbers ready

IronGalaxy:
A Nigerian proverb..

Haha you really thought about day was gonna go by?

XhosaNostra:
I will even crawl & wheeze my way there if I should

Yeah, Engen ain't smiling, they're determined to strike back at the kung fu virus, sanitizer in hand like some clinical ninjas or something

Maybe the took a bite of the wrong bat that bit back this time around lol. Who gives a fùck, right? I just want it over & done with already.

I haven't played in like two months but e be like una spirit encourages me.

Yup! It better pass.We can't afford to live like prisoners.

koffos:
. hahaha .. or let the whites there leave and the country will just be another African am of a country

Then imagine what Nigeria will look like since the same whitey got your economy in a cobra clutch.Una jungle go mek Somalia look like Beverly Hills

XhosaNostra:
Yesterday I went to Engen to play the lotto & I was told to do it online because long queues are prohibited, for the time being. It's getting serious. The guy also told me that all Engens could close in the next couple of days, at a moment's notice. They're also wearing masks & gloves, customers are sanitized at the door It's chaotic out there.

Lol, didn't they say someone ate a bat or some other bizarre creature, in China, which set the whole thing in motion. Many conspiracies are beginning to pop up though, so I guess we'll never know the real truth.

Yeah I saw petrol attendants wearing blue gloves and sanitising hands of motorists.So no corona virus formed against my baby gonna stop her from reaching for millions?

Lol but Chinese people have been eating these things for ages.Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist,but I smell something far more sinister than that.Somebody done dirty deeds here.

XhosaNostra:
Ja ne.

So aren't you out panic buying? Things are flying off the shelves as we speak amidst rumours that there's going to be a complete shutdown, where we won't even be allowed to set foot out. I've created a mini stockpile myself, just in case

You don't say ...I saw some taxi drivers out there wearing dust masks.I'm really beginning to worry.What actually caused this thing?

forgiveness:
Since, you believe the whole Lagos is Makoko, what is the fuss about?

What?

XhosaNostra:
I have no idea who he is or what he does lol. I've read about him here on NL, following his baby mama drama.

Lol @ banged up abroad. Asazi

Okay


Lol never say never with them.Sometimes getting with them is like playing Russian roulette with your freedom.

forgiveness:
Be fooling around.

No that's you.Claiming you saw a South African in Makoko...Makoko is a slum that never sleeps
