Whites don't speak African languages easily. We can't click as well our mouths are formed differently. We can understand a little bit, can speak a bit of fanagalo.

its not a blunder its a disgrace

I don't think he cares

This is not a pop song dude, just because all your other songs sound the same, can you at least realise this is a hymn and sing it as such, not to mention take the trouble if you were a professional singer, which is literally your only job, to learn the words.
