  • ...LOL! I need to show this to my dad! He's from SA, I hope he doesn't get too upset :P

  • Brilliant. They picked the only black guy from SA who can't sing.

  • The expressions on the S.A players faces are a mixture of shock, embarassed amusement and 'for christs sake please God, let this be over with soon'. This guy totally murdered your anthem, I suspect he just might not be hired to do it again.....

  • At times like these, you miss the vuvuzelas...

  • It's really a shitty anthem.. only good verse is the third and kind of the fourth. The first two and then complete switch in tune in the middle.. good God.

  • @thekeeid The Italian one does the same thing; shifts the key halfway.

  • Wow, that was terrible.

    

  • I don't understand some of you folks. I thought he sounded very nice. I mean , you paid the dread to come in and sing for you, and you got his heart and soul for a few moments, and then you bash his integrity and intent, and insult the man. You people should literally be ashamed of yourselves. It's you who behave disgraceful, not your hired performer.

  • Pffft...the woman who sang in the 1995 world cup was 1000x better...

  • Where is Simon Cowell to hit the "buzzer" when you really need him!!

  • is this guy for real or is someone playing a cruel joke?

  • No excuses: they were handed complete control over a basically functional developed nation, in a part of the world rich in natural resources.

    Also, the apartheid regime had managed to keep going in spite of the handicap of being unable to trade with many countries because of sanctions.

    The black regime have faced no such obstacles, by rights, they should have done even better!

  • @tHeWasTeDYouTh Doing better was never the goal. The West supported the fall of apartheid because they knew the blacks wouldn't bother to keep Western corporations from exploiting south africa's resources.

  • @gevanamataka yes, and turn a great country like Rhodesia into the shithole Zimbabwe.

  • "live and strive for freedom" type in "south africa - why the exodus"

  • looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooool what in the world/ i am not south african but i would like to know who this guy his and who gave him the FUCKING MIC??? LOL

  • I'm not even South African and I'M offended. Such a beautiful song does not deserve this kind of treatment at the hands of a tone-deaf idiot like this asshole. Although a part of me is slightly relieved that the US isn't the only one that gets its anthem butchered (Looking at you MARIAH CAREY), I still feel awful for everyone in attendance there. This was ear rape, plain and simple.

  • Seriously!? Get out of the freaking stadium! No pride whatsoever!

  • tut tut tut terrible

  • Where are the snipers, man???????? How can you do that with so beautiful anthem????????

  • ...............fuck someone shut that wanker up and let the fans do their job

  • cumon guys he tried isnt it about good spirit he did his best give him a fucking break.xx

  • Wow, displaying some of South Africa's racism down below huh? Really think you should be showing the world that? Can't even pretend to believe in your anthem? Pricks

  • Itsy Bitsy Spider?

  • The caffa has no business singing the the South African anthem !!

  • They should have at least cut the sound on his microphone...

  • @Thanticore I remember losing all the energy I had for the game... momentarily of course. But god damn... the guy should have had some idea of how awful he is, and should have turned down the offer to sing

  • I don't speak kungfoo but this is shit

  • omg lol this is such horrible singing. to be honest i'v never heard the national anthem of south africa before adn don't understand the language. it sounds so shitty. Why was this done?

  • I don't think he is even South African. Someone just picked a random man from another African country and gave him 1 hour to learn the anthem.

  • What is the name of the first player sining? I have seen him somwhere else..

  • hahahaha

  • Who the fuck is that monkey singing this shit?

  • Most disgraceful version of any anthem I've ever heared. Stunningly awful! This is one great national anthem though, especially die stem van Suid Afrika part with words I can actually undestand:P

  • @enlugal so what little racist rock do You live under, pondscum?

  • This isn't disgracing, the new SA anthem is disgrace by itself.

  • They should've given Bokke the mics and let them sing instead of this guy. They probably would've done a better job.

  • the guy singing wasn't so bad, it's the anthem itself that's impossible to sing with a straight face, like most nationalist anthems I'm familiar with...look at the faces of the fans who are struggling with the lyrics and melody...

  • geez looks like that guy was smoking alot of weed before sing

  • i would have pied in my pants if i was der !!!!!!!

  • what the fuck was that

  • HAHAHA i piss myself everytime i listen to this!

    what happened to my beloved lands anthem!????

  • Why all the knockers?

    Although in hindsight it might not have been the best Idea of the Month to get a retarded person to sing the anthem, at least it was a bold blow for inclusiveness.

  • he seems to be confused, he is singing the harmony and not the melody.

  • This is what you get when the idiots running the country appoints another idiot to properly "do" something that no white man can do properly. They are right naturally, no white man can screw up the South African national anthem as badly as this village idiot! He might be the best thing since cliced bread in his little village, but it is now widely known that outside of his little village, he is a fcukup! Foreigners might not believe that he is a superstar in SA!!! Bad taste rocks in Africa!

  • hahahahahhaha

  • absolutely terrible

  • South Africans believe they have lost the match because of this man

  • Pretty sure this guy is Bob Marley high!

  • Tah.. He's officially horrible.

  • Did he win South African Idol

  • As long he doesnt sing new zealand anthem im ok with that lol

  • WHAT A PLONKER !!!!

  • This guy is apparently South African actually, only he lives in France - he was the only south african artist the french could find, so they gave him the job..regretfully.

  • I don't care about anthems and flag waving at the best of times, but this is rough. I love Bob Marley's Reggae and he could actually sing, but this dude cannot hold a note. Who did pick Rasta to disgrace himself so? Shoulda left him to snorting the pungent stuff. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. I hope it didn't dampen the team's spirit too much.

  • The thing is, I suspect these guys found this rendition no less comprehensible then normal.

  • Did someone notice at 1'50'', Schalk Burger turning around to see who was singing? Isn¡t he taking his hand to his ears?

  • Must be the Marijuana.

    Pronounced in this case as Ma-ri-ju-ana.

  • HAHAHAHA only in africa!!!!! thats why we lost the match i think!

  • Of course he's South African- He's a Rastafarian and Rasta's believe in Africa as their spiritual homeland. Plenty of Rastafarians in SOUTH AFRICA. BUT HE CAN"T SING WORTH A DAMN.

  • man that guy sucked ass a singing, wtf were they thinking having that talentless man make a idiot out of himself like that lol

  • Why wasn't there anyone stop the guy singing?

  • That isnt fair. Every nations national anthem deserves to be sang with pride by someone capable and up to the task, on an international level atleast. I get the feeling the home venue selected the singer in this case, as a means of disrupting and annoying the visitors. The guy was awful, nothing to do with skin colour, he was just AWFUL.

  • @Keldorn87 But his hair is great ;D just a joke ;)

  • wow... there are just not enough awkward turtles in the world for this... what a way to ruin such a beautiful anthem!

  • WHY DO PEOPLE SEEMS TO FORGET THAT WHITES CAN NOT HAVE BLACK BABIES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE MELANIN. ANY BLACK WHO CALL THIS SINGING DISGRACE NOW I CAN SEE WHY YOU HAVE BEEN RULE AND RUN OVER BY PEOPLE WHO CAN'T EVEN WALK/SIT IN SUN WITH OUT GETTING BURN UP... I WOULD GET MUCH ATTENTION TO THE VAMPIRES.. ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE VAMPIRES AND MY PROOF IS YOU GET CANCER FROM THE DAMN SUN......LOL.

  • @ahdaiyah2012 Did you break your caps-lock key? Even you know that the song sounded like shit. And bleh, I will suck your blood.

  • @ahdaiyah2012

    u r a fool,u bloody fool, fuck you! SAY I DD SAY IT fUCK YOU,u dnt knw jack abt wat the national anthem means to south africans, fuck you n stop blod shit, fuck you

  • NO ONE IS EVEN LISTENING TO THE WORDS, RACISM WILL ALWAYS TAKE HUMAN TO THEIR GRAVE. THE WORD SOUTH AFRICA IS ENGLISH, AND JAMAICA PEOPLE KNOW THAT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL NAME FOR THE PART OF LAND ALL YOU STUPID SICK ALIENS WHO CAN NOT LET GO YOUR EVIL WICKED WAYS. IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO KILL AND RAPE CHILDREN WHILE DESTROYING THEIR ENVIRONMENT.

  • @ahdaiyah2012 @ahdaiyah2012 As a South Arican and a proud one at that, I say you are so out of line! Your racist views are NOT welcome in the new South Africa! South Africa is for ALL: Regardless of skin colour! You are ignorant as well as racist. Black people also get skin cancer claim. This guy's singing is horrible! He must have been high, not only is he off-key, he is just palin horrible!! A shame to ALL South Africans! Are YOU even South African? Probably not..so....HAMBA!!

  • @priscamolotsi Thanks bra.. This racist kak is not on.. Nicely said.. :)

  • That is a Fucking disgrace to South Africa, i would be so ashamed to call South Africa my home

  • get this fucker off!!!!

  • Oh how all sane South Africans must yearn for the days when die Stem van Suid Afrika was their anthem and their complex, sophisticated nation was run by intelligent men, not a bunch of mad tribes.

  • W T F... Who in the f*ck allowed that to happen. What a way to de-motivate the team.

    Bullshit man

  • i couldn't watch this.....

  • See a Rasta butcher your national anthem and see how you like it

  • hahaha he was trying to sing his version, reggae style . ! hahahaha

  • Haha,the team was not sure whether to laugh or cry

  • Im Turkish by origin, i hope somebody gave that clown a good beating afterwards.

    He discraces himself and black community.

  • @TheHasanMurat get a life idiot, the fact that you use one man's actions as indication of what a race of hundreds of millions is proves you are either ignorant or incredibly willfully bigoted. Either way, you are a fool. Must I suppose you a murdere because the Turks massacred millions of Armenians and still refuse to apologise for that genocide? Hopeless.

  • @phantomsuccour : Fuck you, i didnt born that era, neither did you.

    What about British crimes during the Imperial era? All quiet,huh? Bitch.

  • @phantomsuccour : And your channel suck, as well as your meaningless life.

  • WTF! Bismark Du Plesis was singing better than this fool!!!! where the hell did they find him?? disgrace, I will be pissed if they sang ma countrys anthem like that! he should never ever sing again!

  • Comment removed

  • What the fuck is this? Did somebody shoot this guy? Schalk's face at 1:50 says it all

  • Harry Potter's school song comes to mind... by instruction: pick your favourite tune and rhythm and go. :| Just wow...

  • I am Kenyan.You south Africans have a beautiful national anthem but seriously who decided on this clown ruining it?

  • It is not easy to sing the anthem completely in his own rhythm and melody....Even the lyrics...

  • sy ma se p...............

  • What a dork

  • What the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • who let him even sing

  • wat an ediot

  • I am disappoint

  • Monkey with a microphone.

  • @TheHasanMurat You better watch your acidic tongue, you ugly, hairy, swarthy-face Turkish cunt, or I'll roast your Turkish ass for Christmas dinner!!! In places like Germany, you unwanted Turkish immigrants are the 'monkeys'...

  • @nounnoun : Thats nigger talking :D Sugi pula ...Hahahaa well take the Germany soon, and theres nothing you can do.... cok güzel,hahaaa

  • @TheHasanMurat You fucking Turks are colonizers; you don't belong in Europe! Your Asiatic progenitors hail from outer Mongolia! Your unscrupulous, perfidious and bloodthirsty ancestors conquered Anatolia, expelled the indigenous, Christian and European Greeks, and renamed the civilized Byzantine city from Constantinople to Istanbul! Look what you Christmas Turkeys are doing to the Kurds! When will you cease occupying Cyprus? Ugly Christmas Turkey! Long live Kurdistan! Emancipation for Cyprus!

  • @nounnoun :We have more history than you SLAVES. We almost took the WHOLE EUROPE

    only a few centuries ago. Im not a fundamentalist Musulman, but you were the SLAVES and always will be the SLAVES. And in Quran it says you´ll go to hell when you die ,Because God divided the race in two parts. (all men are not equal, God gave some more than others)

  • @TheHasanMurat Yep, we were slaves, Abdul. But look at us now: We have a Black president, Black culture is intimated throughout the world (I heard that rap is popular in Istanbul) Black people are some of the most integrated and assimilated minorities in Europe; certainly we don't bring as much havoc and cosnternation as you Christmas Turkeys, who only bring head-scars, Sharia Law, 'honor killings' and drugs to European streets! What's the age of consent in 'civilise' Turkey? lol!!!

  • @nounnoun Nigger monkey rubberlip

  • @nounnoun : Without us, the Germany wouldnt work, but without YOU; social welfare works in Britain. Thats the difference.Im sorry, but youre shit,like your skin. Fetch me a banana ,BOY

  • @TheHasanMurat No wonder Europe is obdurate in keeping Turkey of the EU! When will you ugly, hock-nosed cunts learn that you're not wanted in Europe? The EU don't want any more wogs, mosques and veiled women; they don't want 'honor' killings in Europe! "We are shit?" That probably explains why half of 'Nigger monkeys' are in interracial relationships with white women in the UK! It seems white women have an inexplicable predilection for our 'monkey' cocks! "Once you go Black, you cant go back!"

  • @TheHasanMurat "Without us, Germany wouldnt work" Abdul, I am trying to ascertain as to how you arrived at such a fallacious and fatuous conclusion. The only "work" you immigrants do, besides selling drugs and pimping German girls, is sweeping German streets and cleaning German toilets! Bloody untermensch! And what are the downsides to Turkish immigration? Increase in Turkish criminal activities, shariah law in German cites such as Cologne and the specter of honor killings and shariah law!

  • Comment removed

  • @nounnoun : German people arent doing children,their loss.....So, someone is always filling the gap,right?

    You take things undesputable facts what comes out of BBC or France24? You know we are having this conversation in English, but think further, all the way in year 2050....Only Kurds do these honor killings....looool

  • @TheHasanMurat That's your biggest, your potent weapon: the Turkish womb, the Turkish demographic time-bomb! Instead of conquering Europe through the sword, you will conquer Europe by breeding like fucking rabbits! Soon, St Peter's Basilica will be transformed into a Mosque, just as the Hagia Sophia was transformed from a Christian church to a Mosque in Turkey! The Austrians in 1683 saved Europe from Turkish occupation; who will save Europe now?

  • @nounnoun : If you want to isult Turkish people, dont call Abdul, Abdullah is a very honorable name, so the effect is exactly opposite. But keep trolli´n/(trolli´n/trolli´n all you want.

    All we have is this moment ,only fools still holds on to the past. Like what happened centuries ago here or there, what the fuck?

  • @TheHasanMurat Point taken, but if you want to defame Black people, that's your juvenile prerogative. But, Keyboard warrior, have the temerity, the strength of conviction to propagate hatred to us to our faces, instead of hiding behind the computer, in your parents' room. It's facile to act tough and spew frivolous inane insults on youtube; it's a different matter entirely saying it in 'real life'. "A monkey with a microphone". Is this right Islam teaches you, Mustafa?

  • @nounnoun : You know, that we Turks are social people. We enjoy being in a group, minimum of 5 people at least. I could say :"Monkey with a microphone" in your face anytime,man.

  • @TheHasanMurat 'Could', that's the operative word, keyboard warrior, but you wouldn't because you know the ramifications would be too great for you. That's why you hide behind the computer like a little bitch and use the anonymity of the internet to promulgate hatred. Pathetic. However, let me reiterate: Is that what Islam teaches you? "Monkey with a microphone". Part 1

  • @TheHasanMurat Part 2) I shall quote verbatim what your holy book has to say on the subject: "an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood’." Heed those prudent words, keyboard warrior! Goodnight and good-luck!

  • @TheHasanMurat "Turned Black", and your point, keyboard warrior? It doesn't mean that they will metamorphosis into a Black/Negro person; It is spurious and fatuous to purport that your quote has any racial connotations. Let's not forget that one of your prophets first supporter was a Black African former slave. I think it's hilarious, ironic and inexplicable that a non-Muslim, 'Kafir' has more knowledge of Islam than one of its followers. I blame Kemal Ataturk for your paucity of knowledge...

  • @nounnoun :Blame all you want, hes dead,lol :).

    Think, if all men have created equal, why did Prophet made a comparison like that,black? Why not green?Well, you could say if someones a proud liar, his face will be black in Hell. Theres a river in muslim hell, where everyone drinks, its boiling hot, sour and filthy. Only food in hell is Zaqqum. Its a pineapple-like wooden fruit, which burns internal organs. I Think,mark my words as a secularized man: ITS a FAIRYTALE.

  • @TheHasanMurat And his legacy of militant secularism lives on. lol:)

    Back to the your point, throughout history and throughout different cultures, the colour Black has negative connotations; it's synonymous with unpleasantness; however, anyone with a modicum of intelligence would be able to ascertain that there is a discrepancy between the colour Black and race. Fairytale or not, there's no racial connotation. Keep on hating, internet warrior, and I shall keep on educating you!

  • @nounnoun : And besides West-Germany had everything, but suffered lack of workers. They (German employers) made trips to Turkey and recruited workers. So as a conclusion: They literally grabbed with two hands people to work in Germany .

  • hahahah wow

  • Anyway... Those guys looks yummy.

  • Das war.... ja..... ummm...... ja.....

  • Does anyone agree with me that it appears that he is not a very good speaker of Afrikaans? HAHA

    Heeft iemand het met mij eens dat het erop lijkt dat hij niet is een heel goede spreker van het Afrikaans? HAHA

    Is daar iemand met my saamstem dat dit blyk dat hy nie 'n baie goeie spreker van Afrikaans? HAHA

  • @WindowsAndMacintosh lol me LOL

  • is this a plot to demoralize the Springboks?

  • this was the disgrace shame

  • How was this ever approved one has to wonder..

  • im in tears of laughter loool

  • Lucky Dube is alive.....lolz...

  • holy fuck! haha, the afrikaans bit is the best

  • This guy was 100x worse than Ard Matthews! You Suck Dude!!

  • Check Schalk's face at the end of the anthem...Oh my word....someone's gotta do some serious damage control!!!!

  • How the Hell did they get this guy in the first place, if u have a hangover DONT sing, this WILL happen to you!

  • @bilbobash you dumb fuck, thats why you shouldnt sing in front of 1000's of people if you cant in the first place! Thats why Celine Dion does not mess up a show, neither does Karen Zoid. The guy is as dumb as you. Now go sing another tragedy in front of 1000's of people.

  • Hoe daai ou nie deur 'n speler gedonner is nie, is 'n wonderwerk

  • oh my goodness!!

  • Wtf who the fuck asked him to sing the anthem

  • @Doep90 That would've been the highly competent staff at the South African Embassy in Paris. Doin' what they do best - represent'n'!

  • wtf?

    no really, just wtf?

  • eish...

  • It's always the South African national anthem that is always disrespected in Test matches it's a shame, I'm a kiwi support but South Africa anthem is the best anthem, just listening to it echo around stadiums is breathtaking

  • Comment removed

  • This fucking jungle rot kaffir shit, nkosi whatever, will never be the anthem of my Suid Afrika...it is Die Stem van Suid Afrika.

  • @sparky28546 fuck off you racist cunt.

  • The afrikaans part was so funny.

  • hearing this still pisses me off!

    

  • You could see the look on the players faces that all that was going through their minds was WTF! Schalk Burger's face was priceless right at the end because you could see the disgust written all over his face. If I were The Legend That Is John Smit, I would have led the boys straight off the field into the change rooms and demanded that they find someone to do the anthem properly before they even think of stepping foot back onto that field.

  • They should have sung Die Stem van Suid Afrika.

    I'm from the Netherlands by the way :D

  • @WindowsAndMacintosh and I now own you. You are easily traceable as you are a total nazi tosspot luser. You are now my bitch. btw Did I mention I'm black and going to be your husband now?
