Anthem fiasco: Have your say
2009-11-16 08:16
Oregan Hoskins, president of the South African rugby union, has sent a
letter of complaint to the French rugby union regarding the version of
the South African anthem performed on Friday evening, ahead of the
match between the two countries in Toulouse, France.
Dumisani Ras, the singer the Springboks accused of butchering the anthem before
the 20-13 Test match defeat to France, told AFP on Saturday that he thought
he had "sung beautifully".
By Monday morning however, Ras apologised to listeners of 702 Talk Radio for his performance, blaming an old microphone and monitor for the fiasco.
What's your take on 'Anthemgate'? Watch the video and tell us if you're irie or irate over his performance.
And do you think it even comes close to Roseanne Barr's infamous butchering of the American anthem in 1990?
