Die Stem - Anthem of South Africa - Afrikaans
Die Stem van Suid-Afrika (English: The Call of South Africa) was the national anthem of South Africa from 1957 to 1994, and now shares national anthem status with Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika. In May 1918, CJ Langenhoven wrote an Afrikaans poem called Die Stem, for which music was composed by the Reverend Marthinus Lourens de Villiers in 1921. It was widely used by the South African Broadcasting Corporation in the 1920s, which played it at the close of daily broadcasts, along with God Save the King. It was sung publicly for the first time on 31 May 1928. It was not translated into English until 1952, while God Save the Queen did not cease to have official status until 1957. The anthem speaks throughout of commitment to the Vaderland (father land) and to God. However, the anthem was generally disliked by black South Africans, who saw it as triumphalist and associated it with the apartheid regime where one verse shows dedication to Afrikaners. As the dismantling of apartheid began in the early 1990s, South African teams were readmitted to international sporting events, which presented a problem as to the choice of national identity South Africa had to present. Die Stem was sung at a rugby union test match against New Zealand in 1992, which angered the African National Congress, since they had not been consulted on the choice of anthem. The ANC afterwards insisted that Die Stem should not be used as anthem, and at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona that year, Schiller's Ode to ...

White Afrikaans facing poverty in South Afrikaans
Poverty in South Africa has not only influenced the Black populace but the scourge is equal for all including whites. There are many areas in South Africa, namely Bethlehem, that may not be as crowded or as impoverished as South Africa's teeming black townships in Cape Town, or Johannesburg are, however, Bethlehem reflects the real face of South African society that is rarely seen -- the white poverty. It's even less known after ended in 1994 that there has been a growing number of poor white Afrikaans living in smaller settlements without state pensions and relying on government social grants or unskilled jobs. Some of them even are left with no other option than begging. They are the nation's forgotten people. The growing level of poverty among the white population is surprising but least talked about and taken care of. The Govt. in South Africa needs to understand that vast number in black poverty does not mean we must ignore white poverty. www.instablogs.com kjohnah.instablogs.com
