Die Stem van Suid-Afrika[1] ("The Call of South Africa") was the national anthem of South Africa from 1957 to 1994, then shared national anthem status with Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika[2] until 1997, when a new hybrid anthem was adopted, also entitled Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika, the anthem of the ANC, but containing the first verses of Die Stem in Afrikaans, and the second in English.
All three versions are often referred to in plays performed in South Africa.
