“Mungu ibariki Afrika” was translated and became the state anthem of Tanganyika. It was essentially assigned to Enoch Sontonga, who died in 1905. “Mungu ibariki Afrika” used the tune to “Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika” with a Swahili translation of the words.
It is not known who composed the lyrics, but it is known that it was Samuel Mqhayi and Enoch Sontonga who created the early versions used by the African National Congress. Although the tune has been assigned to Sontonga, it is thought by some that the tune was originally written by Welsh composer Joseph Parry.
