Kranskop
Kranskop is a small town that is situated on the edge of the Thukela River valley in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It was founded in 1894 as Hopetown but the following confusion with another town of the same name in the Great Karoo, Northern Cape, the name was changed. Kranskop was chosen and is named after two cliff faces that rise 1,175 metres above the Thukela Valley near the town. The name is an Afrikaans word meaning "cliff head." The Kranskop rock formation has major significance in local Zulu legend and folklore, for whom it is called "Ntunjambili". The Zulu have ancient stories about a forbidden cave and a hill opening that provides protection from cannibals, but then it closes on those who have entered. Education Deutsche Schule Hermannsburg, a private school, is from Kranskop.Fact Sheet ." |

The six remaining tracks are songs that were previously released on Juluka's 1983 album, '' Work for All''. In South Africa and Zimbabwe, an alternate album was released: '' The International Tracks'' (MINC, 1984). This 7-track EP has the same cover art and new songs as ''Stand Your Ground''. The difference is that, instead of the songs from ''Work for All'', ''The International Tracks'' has two new remixes and one reissued track: "Umbaqanga Music" from the 1982 album ''Scatterlings''. The title ''Stand Your Ground'' is a translation of the Zulu title of the track "Mana Lapho". Track listing # Kilimanjaro 3:42 # Look into the Mirror 3:38 # December African Rain 4:22 ...

South African Musicians
South is one of the cardinal directions or compass points. The direction is the opposite of north and is perpendicular to both east and west. Etymology The word ''south'' comes from Old English ''sūþ'', from earlier Proto-Germanic ''*sunþaz'' ("south"), possibly related to the same Proto-Indo-European root that the word ''sun'' derived from. Some languages describe south in the same way, from the fact that it is the direction of the sun at noon (in the Northern Hemisphere), like Latin meridies 'noon, south' (from medius 'middle' + dies 'day', cf English meridional), while others describe south as the right-hand side of the rising sun, like Biblical Hebrew תֵּימָן teiman 'south' from יָמִין yamin 'right', Aramaic תַּימנַא taymna from יָמִין yamin 'right' and Syriac ܬܰܝܡܢܳܐ taymna from ܝܰܡܝܺܢܳܐ yamina (hence the name of Yemen, the land to the south/right of the Levant).

It was produced by Hilton Rosenthal and released in 1984, at a time when South Africa was under apartheid, which banned inter-racial bands. The album was the first to include what would later be called "Zulu rock", and marks the first time the artists used synthesizers. The song ''Ibhola Lethu'' featured soccer game commentaries from Nelson Nkululeko Guimede. The album was also the last collaboration between Johnny and Sipho for 13 years. Sipho, who had a number of wives and children, decided to return to his farm with his family. Johnny Clegg would then form another band, Savuka, which would catapult him to international fame, but the two artists would finally reunite in 1997 for a new album, '' Crocodile Love''.
