“Lefatshe leno la bo-rrarona” was the national anthem of Bophuthatswana, one of the black homelands in South Africa established under apartheid. The lyrics were written by J M Ntsime, a famous Setswana novelist, dramatist and minister of education of Bophuthatswana. The vocal version could often be heard at the sign-on and sign-off of Bop TV, the official television station of Bophuthatswana.[1]
