Music from apartheid in South Africa is very important in free movement. Music is the most important weapon if there is no money on anti-apartheid exercise. The song to South Africa's apartheid threatens the government more than weapons and violence because of the strong meaning behind each song's control and the strengthening of resistance. South African artists have written songs contrary to the government and its cruel laws, many of which are banned but people heard that South African people protested against government regulations.

I spent several years in South Africa several years ago. I heard a wonderful and moving song from Kossa called "Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika". We congratulate you. The Holy Spirit is coming to us. I found this song made by a teacher named Enoch Sontonga which I teach at Methodist school in the suburbs of Johannesburg in 1897. It eventually took over by the choir of the roving school and the African national convention. Later on, it will be a powerful song for South African apartheid atrocities. This song is very powerful and opposed to apartheid repression, so the rulers forbid songs. Nelson Mandela wrote in the middle of going to jail, "Prison track sings 'Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika' voice." . God can shape movement using music

Now, for all African people, this beloved country. Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika, God will save Africa. But he will not see salvation. People are afraid of it so it is far away.

That person should walk upright in the place where they were born, and be able to use the fruits of the earth freely. But men fear, deep fear, deep fear, they hide their own good intentions, or take our violence and anger and frighten them with a very scary face. This fear can not be ruled out, but it is eliminated by love. (310-311) Christianity plays a central role in Peyton's "Dear Crying Country".
