Please let these children sing Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika before the Italy match!
With all the fallout after Ras Dumisani’s Rastafari-style anthem-mangling debacle, may I motivate for the orphans of Indlovu Creche and the members of Youth for Change in Khayelitsha (Western Cape) to sing our beautiful Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika before the rugby international against Italy in Udine on Saturday?
I give you a little taster of what you might expect…
You may cry. It’s OK. I am. Isn’t that just pure beautifulness? And aren’t these kids a little more deserving of the attention that has been handed out to poor old Ras for singing our anthem so diabolically last weekend. I think that they are.
So get to it, rugby unions, embassies, whoever it is who decides on who gets to serenade our rugby boykies into battle. I back the kids of Indlovu Creche to do a truly “SA-positive” job!

Please someone make sure that SARU etc gets to see this. At the very least they should sing the anthem at the next Test in Cape Town, if not at a 2010 Bafana Bafana event…

@Daryl You’re so right. I’ll make Cape Town 2010 organising committee aware of these kids. They are what this World Cup should be all about. Big doff of the hat for that suggestion, Mr Balfour.
