I believe it was from English speaking folks in South Africa. The source is Josef Marais who would generally give one or more verses in Afrikaans if that were the original language.
What an enjoyable song...I'm curious as to it's origins.Was it originally an Africaner song, or from African people or English speaking people,or a mixture of all three?
