Teaching children the South African anthem
Question
Is it permissible to teach kids the South African anthem? It is part of a non examination school subject, but recommended that they learn?
Answer
These are all baseless rituals. The right thing is to teach them the name of Allah, and the words of Allah and His Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
