Anthemgate video
The trio of Rastas that bungled the SA anthem before the game against France have expressed surprise at being told they sucked. The South African embassy chose the singer of South Africa’s national anthem in Toulouse on Friday night. ‘Every time we welcome a foreign side, we ask the embassy to propose people for the national anthems,’ said French team manager Maso. ‘It’s the South African Embassy that put forward this man and we respected their choice.’
Durban local Ras Dumisani, who now records out of Paris, sang the anthem and was astounded when told players and coach Peter de Villiers were unhappy at his performance, saying ‘everyone at the stadium told me I sang well, even after the match. The Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika has been my tune since a baby’ he added. ‘How can I not know the words? There are four languages: Zulu, Sesotho, Afrikaans, English. It’s just four bars, always saying the same thing. I am the biggest reggae man in South Africa and the Springboks are my team. Everyone has their own tastes and you can’t always account for that but most people find my music so beautiful.’
