ADDENDUM, 9-10 January 2023: A PERTINENT EMAIL EXCHANGE, Lorenz Pereira in Melbourne to Nandi Jasentuliyane in USA:

“Dear Nandi, ……… I am both very surprised and delighted to get this version from you How did you know that it is my favourite piece of music!

To me it is the most beautiful song in the world.  I get extremely emotional when I hear it as it brings back so vividly memorable, carefree, glorious  and blessed days of my youth in magical SL at the time.

I am not ashamed to say that tears really flow down my cheeks every time I hear a version of it. This version is probably one of the best.  I first heard it sung by Hubert (?).  It was my dear Father’s favourite song and I got hooked on it as a result from a very early age.  No country can boast of a better Hymn in its honour.

My best wishes for a most contented, peaceful and healthy 2023.

Love and Blessings, ………..  Lorenz
