Umhobe Wesizwe waseMzantsi Afrika: Ilizwi Lobunye, Imbali Nenkululeko
Umhobe wesizwe waseMzantsi Afrika ngumqondiso onamandla wobunye besizwe esahlukileyo.
Wamkelwa ngokusesikweni ngo-1997, emva kwexesha localucalulo (post-apartheid), xa ilizwe lalakha ubuwena obutsha obusekelwe kwintlonipho, uxolo, nentsebenziswano phakathi kwabantu balo.
Lo mhobe udibanisa iingoma ezimbini ezaziwayo: iziqendu zehymn yenkulungwane ye-19 ethi Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika (“Thixo Sikelela iAfrika”) kunye nomhobe wakudala wesiBhulu, *Die Stem van Suid-Afrika (“Ilizwi loMzantsi Afrika”).
Le ndibaniselwano ibalulekile kuba idibanisa imbali eyahlukeneyo ibe lilizwi elinye lesizwe.
Njengoko kuchaziwe kwinqaku, umhobe usebenzisa iilwimi ezintlanu ezithethwa kakhulu eMzantsi Afrika: isiXhosa, isiZulu, isiSotho, isiBhulu (Afrikaans), nesiNgesi.
Imigca yokuqala icela intsikelelo nokhuseleko lukaThixo, kanti eminye imigca ibonisa ubuhle belizwe—amazulu aluhlaza, ulwandle olunzulu, neentaba ezingunaphakade.
Uguqulelo lomgca-ngomgca lugxininisa imixholo ephambili: “Yiva imithandazo yethu,” “Siphe uxolo, uphelise iimfazwe,” kunye nomnqweno wokuba “simanyane, sime kunye.”
Esi sisigidimi esicacileyo sokwakha ilizwe elinoxolo, elikhululekileyo, nelinobulungisa kubo bonke.
Ngale ndlela, umhobe wesizwe awusosandi somkhosi kuphela; sisifundo sembali yesizwe kunye nesithembiso sekamva.
Udibanisa abantu ngeelwimi ezahlukeneyo, ugcine amagama nentsingiselo ka Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika no Die Stem van Suid-Afrika njengesiseko sobunye boMzantsi Afrika.
