It was actually the SA embassy in Paris who gave the singer's name to the french rugby union. So to complain about the french does not make any sense. They should fire the idiot at the SA embassy who thought this pothead was good enough to sing the anthem.

People with rigid thinking have a problem with it, most people are not stuck up and don't see it as bad.

I wonder if the Afrikaans version of Nkosi is still acceptable, we sung it in primary school along with die stem,
Seën ons Here God, seen Afrika,
Laat sy mag tot in die hemel reik,
Hoor ons as ons in gebede vra,
Seën ons in Afrika,
Kinders van Afrika.

Daal neer o Gees, Heilige Gees,
Daal neer o Gees, Heilige Gees,
Kom woon in ons,
Lei ons, O Heilige Gees.

Hou U hand o Heer oor Afrika,
Lei ons tot by eenheid en begrip,
Hoor ons as ons U om vrede vra,
Seën ons in Afrika,
Kinders van Afrika.

Seën ons Here God, seen Afrika,
Neem dan nou die boosheid van ons weg,
Maak ons van ons sonde ewig vry,
Seën ons in Afrika,
Kinders van Afrika.

Ras Dumisani or "Raas" Dumisani?

Although unknown in South African Ras said he's a hero abroad on a radio interview. He said he's big in Europe, America and Jamaica (don't know about Japan) :)

He says he's held in the same high regard as the likes of Burning Spear, Lucky Dube and Culture. :)
