Die Stem van Suid-Afrika (Afrikaans: [di ˈstÉ›m fan sÅ“i̯t ˈɑËfrika], lit. The Voice of South Africa), also known as The Call of South Africa or simply Die Stem (Afrikaans: [di ˈstÉ›m]), is a former national anthem of South Africa. There are two versions of the song, one in English and the other in Afrikaans, which were used during much of the apartheid era. It was the sole national anthem from 1957 to 1994, and shared co-national anthem status with God Save the King/Queen from 1938 to 1957. After the end of apartheid in the early 1990s, it was retained as a co-national anthem along with Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika from 1994 to 1997, when a new hybrid song incorporating elements of both songs was adopted as the country's new national anthem, which is still in use today.
