What is the Jerusalema challenge?
All over South Africa and the rest of the world people are sharing videos of themselves dancing to the hit song Jerusalema by South African musician Master KG, featuring the voice of South African songstress Nomcebo. It all started with a group of friends who recorded a video of the dance choreography. Since December it has become an instant hit across SA Jerusalema is a Zulu gospel praise song.
Here is an English translation of the chorus.
Jerusalem is my home
Save me
You’ve gone with me
Don’t leave me here
Jerusalem is my home
Save me
You’ve gone with me
Don’t leave me here
My place is not here
My kingdom is not here
Save me
Go with me
