A new version of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" has been composed by two singers in South Africa to help bring people together


A singing duo in South Africa have recorded a new version of “Swing Low Sweet Chariot.”

The popular Rugby anthem has been shunned in the terraces at Twickenham and around the country by some fans.

It’s after the RFU decided to conduct a review into its use because of its links with slavery.

But Maritza Truter and Bianca Solomons say banning it is divisive, and the conversation needs to be about how people can be united.

They've been chatting to Jackie's Emily Dexter.



The pair's video can be viewed below.
