Jerusalema dance challenge comes to Plett

Posted on

We have been following the excitement on facebook of the Jerusalema dance challenge event planned for this last Saturday in Plett.  Over 700 people have been practicing the dance moves for weeks and the support was amazing.  Plett even made the SABC news on Sunday and the clip is pasted below.  What an amazing initiative during these tough Covid times.   We also hope that with the easing of Lockdown to level 2 our small tourist town will start to attract visitors from without our borders for now.

“PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS – Plettenberg Bay residents came together in a big way on Saturday for what is believed to have been the biggest group to complete the Jerusalema dance challenge.

Although there is no official “record”, the Jerusalema footage available under the hashtag #jerusalemachallenge shows groups of, on average, between 5 and 20 take on the dance moves.

Plettenberg Bay exceeded this dramatically with between 600 and 700 people doing the challenge on Saturday.

Locals danced to the Master KG hit, Jerusalema, in the coastal holiday town’s Main Street to spread the “Plett It’s a Feeling” vibe.

Lyrics of Jerusalema song
Nwane t’amos, Nwane t’amos
Master Master KG
Nwane t’amos, Nwane t’amos
Jerusalema, ikhaya lami
Ngilondoloze, uhambe nami
Zungangishiyi lana
Jerusalema, ikhaya lami
Ngilondoloze, uhambe nami
Zungangishiyi lana
Oluwa burna
I’m not perfect I
Came from ruthless times
As a Juvenile
Ngilondoloze, Zungangishiyi lana
Look into my eyes
See pain and sacrifice
What goes on my mind
Struggling to survive
Ngilondoloze, Zungangishiyi lana
To’n bá ka e mo woro (Woro)
Odi woro si woro (Woro)
Èmi won wá mi ni gboro (Gboro)
Toju korò ju o
Me I no dey jisoro
Na hin you see me solo
Láti koro si gboro
Down to Ikorodu o
Ahhh!
Ngilondoloze, ngilondoloze
Ngilondoloze, zungangishiyi lana
(Nwane t’amos)
Ndawo yami ayikho lana
Mbuso wami awukho lana
Ngilondoloze, zuhambe nami
Ndawo yami ayikho lana
Mbuso wami awukho lana
Ngilondoloze, zuhambe nami
Jerusalema, ikhaya lami
Ngilondoloze, uhambe nami
Zungangishiyi lana
Jerusalema, ikhaya lami
Ngilondoloze, uhambe nami
Zungangishiyi lana
Oluwaburna
I’m not perfect I
Came from ruthless times
As a Juvenile
Ngilondoloze, Zungangishiyi lana
To’n bá ka e mo woro (Woro)
Odi woro si woro (Woro)
Èmi won wá mi ni gboro (Gboro)
Toju korò ju o
Me I no dey jisoro
Na hin you see me solo
Láti koro si gboro
Down to Ikorodu o
Ahh!
Ngilondoloze, ngilondoloze
Ngilondoloze, zungangishiyi lana
Ngilondoloze, ngilondoloze
Ngilondoloze, zungangishiyi lana
Jerusalema ikhaya lami
Ngilondoloze, uhambe nami
Zungangishiyi lana
Jerusalema ikhaya lami
Ngilondoloze, uhambe nami
Zungangishiyi lana
Ndawo yami ayikho lana
Mbuso wami awukho lana
