Answer 2

Answer:

the whites sung 'Nkosi Sikelel –iAfrika' and

the blacks sung 'Die Stem'

Explanation:

The day was symbolised for me by the playing of

our two national anthems, and the vision of whites

singing ‘Nkosi Sikelel –iAfrika’ and blacks singing

‘Die Stem’, the old anthem of the Republic. Although

that day neither group knew the lyrics of the anthem

they once despised, they would soon know the

words by heart.
