Alfred Uzokwe plays and sings South African National Anthem

Since the song, Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika or God Bless Africa was adopted by South Africa as her national anthem, I have always had a special affinity for the song. For one, I am a lover of melodious songs that lend themselves to harmonizing. The South African national anthem, the first part, is one of those songs. I love the song but at the same time, it reminds me of the inglorious days of apartheid- the Soweto massacre, the murder of Steve Biko and others. The song makes me sad and happy at the same time because while it reminds me of the atrocities of the past, it is beautifully melodious with touching words. Embedded in it is a woven mix of entreaties and supplications to the Almighty. It conjures up the feeling of a nation asking God to lead the way for her and if I may add, prevent them from falling back into a past that saw only carnage and destruction….
