All these years I believed this song was American. I was too young to even realise this was a political struggle song. Damn!!!

This song is loved by every South African elder 🔥🔥🔥 artists really liberated our country by making metaphoric songs of liberation. The Apartheid government tried to block those voices and lost. Thank you to the black American artists and activists for being political. As people we must be political to liberate those in shackles of oppression

The Quote Bag :
🎵 Fun Fact: The iconic South African song Paradise Road by Joy was written in 1979 by Patric van Blerk and Fransua Roos and released in 1980.
Here’s the interesting part. Although it was never intended to be a political anthem, its message of hope and better days ahead resonated so deeply with South Africans during apartheid that it became known as an unofficial South African anthem.
It also spent an incredible nine weeks at number one on the South African charts! 🇿🇦
