Video transcript

Africa, my Africa. Africa, the big black continent. Africa, of kings and queens. Africa, of pride and victory. Africa, of my forefathers. Africa, the land flowing with honey and gold. Africa, the black, shiny sun upon your face. Where are you Africa? Where have you gone? Where are the queens and kings? Where are the beads and staffs? Where are the drums and cymbals? Where are the dancing maidens and the courageous men of war? Where did they all go?

The sun will again shine on Africa. The waters will flow through the streams again with vigour and men will again stand proud with glistening bodies and rippling muscles and women will once again stand with pride and proclaim the beauty of Africa and God will again look upon us with favour. Our land will again be flowing with honey. Our children will again sing in our gardens with pride and joy. Our lives, finally in our hands.
