We, the people of South Africa, Recognise the injustices of our past; Honour those who suffered for justice and freedom in our land; Respect those who have worked to build and develop our country; and Believe that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity.
Thina, bantu bomZantsi Afrika, Siyaziqonda iimeko zolwaphulo-bulungisa zamaxesha ethu adlulileyo; Sibanika imbeko abo beva ubunzima bebulalekela ubulungisa nenkululeko elizweni lethu; Siyabahlonela abo bathi basebenzela ukwakha nokuphuhlisa ilizwe lethu; kwaye Sikholelwa ekubeni umZantsi Afrika ngowethu sisonke thina sihlala kuwo, simanyene nangani siziintlobo ngeentlobo.
