WE, THE PEOPLE
An alternative South African Anthem
Words and Music by Michael du Preez
Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika: Words and Music by Enoch Sontonga,
Die Stem: Words by CJ Langenhoven, Music by Rev ML de Villiers

We, the CHILDREN of South Africa
Strong and unified we stand
Grant to us your blessings, Gracious Lord
Bring glory and peace to our land
We, the PEOPLE of South Africa
One nation in unity we dwell
The light of justice shall forever shine
In our South Africa

Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela
Ons sal lewe, ons sal sterwe
Ons vir jou Suid-Afrika

 In our diversity
Lies all our strength and pride
Lord, be ever at our side

 We, the NATION of South Africa
Who shall dare to challenge now?
We, the CITIZENS, we love this land
Our land, South Africa
Our land, South Africa
