Griqua National Anthem
God, eewig groot en goed
O God, wil loven U!
Gij aller vorsten Heer! (This is Griqua - a mix of Afrikaans and indigenous languages - see more at this link.) |
Scott asked the Griqua National Conference if they would sing their beautiful
Volksleid (People's song - or anthem)
This was specially organised for him on the evening of the 17th October at Kranshoek and included the Griqua choir and the conference's elders including Paramount Chief Alan le Fleur.
