South Africa's anthem is a hybrid of two songs, namely the former anthem Die Stem van Suid-Africa (The voice of South Africa) and another song Nkosi Sikelel iÁfrika. The anthem also employs five languages, namely Xhosa, Zulu, Sesotho, Afrikaans and English. Nkosi Skilele was written by Enoch Sontonga, a Methodist school teacher, who originally wrote the song as part of a church hymn. Die Stem was written by Afrikaans writer and poet C.J. Langenhoven in 1918 and was set to music by Reverend Marthinus Lourens de Villiers in 1921. Die Stem was the co-national anthem from 1936 to 1957 with God Save the King/Queen, when it became the sole anthem until 1995. The South African government, under the leadership of Nelson Mandela, adopted both songs as national anthems in 1995 and in 1997 they were merged into the current anthem.
