 On Friday, 26 April 2024 our team had  the previledge of speaking with Vernon White. The writer of Drill of Afreeka. Mr White is originally Cape Town born in the Manenburg area. He shared the importance of the feelings that follow listening to a good song which is missing nowadays. The ''chickenbumps'' he called it. 

Vernon also shared with us that ''The Drill Of Afreeka'' was inspired by our national anthem, ''Nkosi sikelel'iAfrika''. ''Drill means culture'' he said. ''A culture that we're developing as South Africa. One to have one mind, one heart and one soul.'' The rugby world cup was a perfect representation of that. When South Afrrica was united in supporting the Bokke. Our national rugby team. 

The beauty of the country with so much potential is one of the reasons that inspired Vernon to write the song. In as much as we have bad going on in our country, inspiring our chuildren using music can change the country to a better future is the vision behind Mr White's music. 

''Forgivness of the past would be a seed sowed that our childrwen would reap'' He said. 

In a nutshell with The Drill Of Afreeka, Vernon promotes celebrating, appreciating and remembering our heroes and heroins through music, Embracing freedom . Drill of A freeka is a gift to South Africa indeed. A gift from God.
