[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 950956, member: 40658"] African cultures also have war dances. And our politicians dance with the public on regular occasions. They also have struggle songs (because of Apartheid) and some of those songs are pretty ominous. I think the most polarizing one is "Umshini Wam" which means "Bring my Machine (gun)". Now culturally our black community would sing and dance on songs like these as a form of unity amongst themselves, and to issue a warning that they won't back down. Which would be rather fitting for the Springboks. But I know for certain that they'll never do that, partly because of the white players in the team and that it's mostly a black thing, but also it's more used in the political space and nowhere else. Then again, not all the All Black players are Maori. [/QUOTE]
