paragraph_text: National anthem
  
  The Tanzanian national anthem is " Mungu Ibariki Africa " (God Bless Africa). It has kiswahili lyrics adapted for " Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika " composed by South African composer Enoch Sontonga in 1897. "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" became a pan-African song adapted into the current national anthems for Tanzania, Zambia, and following the end of apartheid South Africa. It was previously used in the national anthems for Zimbabwe and Namibia, but has since been replaced by original new anthems. Another patriotic song is Tanzania, Tanzania.
