South Africans are even calling on the Ndlovu Youth Choir x RHS mashup to be the new Bok anthem, for all the gees it brings! 

 

South Africa (16 September 2025) – If you’ve seen the clip doing the rounds (watch below), you’ll understand the wave of South African pride it has caused.

Learners from Rustenburg High School recently got the chance to sing and dance alongside the legendary Ndlovu Youth Choir. The school became a stage and for a minute, everyone watching felt the spirit of South Africa shine through.

Posted during the choir’s FNB Heritage Tour, the joint performance has taken off online, racking up well over 13,000 likes, 1.7k shares and 1,000 comments in under three days.

The Ndlovu Youth Choir has always been about uplifting through music, and seeing them bring that spirit into a school where learners match their infectious energy beat for beat, brings us joy.

The school has a reputation for musical magic of their own. You might remember The Rustenburg Choir’s viral turns from years back (when they covered Living Years and Fix You).

Seeing their spark blend so well with the country’s most loved youth choir is special.

What also stands out is what South Africans saw in the clip. The comments are a chorus of their own.

“41 years in South Africa, and now from a distance what an emotional moment to witness the joy and pride of these youngsters. All the best for the nation, there’s millions of souls dreaming to have a peaceful life under the rainbow,” writes Joao Costa.

“Watching this video makes me miss South Africa so much today😞I’m so proud of SA. I wish we didn’t have to leave our beloved country.” writes Charlene Govender. 

“Love the energy of these kids. We need more of this. Makes me so proud. SA truly is the best place in the world, hands down,” says Jo Bond. 

“This needs to be done on the rugby field the next on the springboks play,” comments Allan Jackets. 

“The magic, fun, beauty, the vibrance, coolness, the cry of expression, the power, the uniqueness, the harmoniousness, the rhythmness, fierceness and spiritualism in African music!!! Aaaah! African music, my music, my culture, my heritage, my pride! So proud to be African!,” writes Brij Bo.

Needless to say, it’s the kind of performance that makes you stand a little taller.
