Claire Johnston-NZ-SA Nat Anthem

[muukiomuingi]

Commentator said Mululaka. Its Maluleke idiot.

[Krystek337]

This lady has done beautifully, both national anthems

[proplib]

What was the score?

[harkeb]

very very touchy, for both countries!

[sungmoon1987]

that was really fresh, love her voice

[rfro009]

Kia Ora, I enjoyed her voice, and she did a better job than most NZ"ers at pronouncing the maori words. I like the SA anthem too.

[DubsWest]

its claire johnson

[Tessietots]

I love SA my homeland.. miss her.

[Sindhi78]

Its clear the New Zealanders aren't taking too kindly a foreigner singing their national anthem , especially the MAORI lyrics ALL WRONG....she pronounced "Matoura" all wrong.

[AucklandRulez]

not true, im a new zealander and i think she did a superb job

[Sindhi78]

Then I'm sure u know its "Matouwra" and not pronounced as "Matooora" as she does.

[AucklandRulez]

See there's no w in "Matou ra" so you can hardly talk mate :/ at least she gave it a shot and did well for the most part

[Sindhi78]

You're White , right ??  Which part of England did ur forefathers migrate from ??

[AucklandRulez]

what the fuck :L nah this isn't happening im not taking stick for being a white NZer off someone from Dubai :S You're not even a Kiwi stop speaking for us and besides you;re portrayal of us is totally wrong

[bazulu11]

@Sindhi78 - you are an ignorant twit aren't you. A minor variant in the pronunciation (not incorrect by the way) and you get your knickers in a knot. Why don't you stick to your games with mrs. Palmer and her five daughters you racist kutiya.

[elgallopol]

the best anthem period,& im not even south african,very emotional!

[mahajangajalman]

je suis d'origine mais j'était née en afrique

[blUdz18]

Beautiful! 2 BEST National anthems in the world by far!!!!

[icemanleith]

I definately agree with you here, by the 2 best anthems in the world, and i'm an aussie

[MrsJellytots]

I agree! And she did a beautiful job!

[zulumun]

Such a waste, wake up peeps. This is the wrong S.A anthem.

[kmfw72]

We're wide awake - that's the anthem that has been used since 1997 - next you'll be telling us the flag of SA is orange white and blue.

[Sindhi78]

Maak dood die blanke mense.

[SouthStags88]

my two favourite national anthems and the americans one too.

[MiltonFine68]

nkosi sikeleli afrika. What language is that?

[AucklandRulez]

african i think

[robotminione]

...you do realize "African" isn't a language, right?

[AucklandRulez]

you do realize that i was "having a guess" right?

[AucklandRulez]

Xhosa, Zulu, Sesotho, Afrikaans, and English. happy now smart arse?

[AucklandRulez]

a meant as in Afrikaans ya prick

[SergeInho]

get it on wikipedia

[blaquecherry419]

it means God bless Africa in xhosa.its part of the south african national anthem

[mahajangajalman]

ZULU and SESOTHO.

[robotminione]

that bit's xhosa I think, but the SA anthem is in Xhosa, Zulu, Sesotho, Afrikaans, and English.

NZ's is in Maori and English, obviously.

[AucklandRulez]

i meant african as in afrikaans but i learnt it was in xhosa

[mahajangajalman]

elle chantent pas bien sur l'athem de new zeland!. elle est pour la south africa!

[AucklandRulez]

elle signe les hymnes nationaux pour les deux équipes et assissted par l'autre monsieur

[AucklandRulez]

i'm a kiwi but on this particular occasion i think the SA anthem beats ours

[AucklandRulez]

did clare johnstone not sing both of them?

[SirMark13]

claire johnston sung both songs you joke

[mahajangajalman]

o'se boloke

[mahajangajalman]

very good athem!

[TomAraya23]

corne krige was a legend

[holllandr]

claire preform both anthems very well

but the anthems of N-Z and S-A are very beautifull tough.

[gombeen06]

thanks for the pig ignorant comment, mate. to be insulted by someone like you is the ultimate compliment. oh, and its spelt "apartheid" numbnuts. you should really learn how to spell before dishing out the insults

[Dramalama19]

funny how the crowd sings harder when the stem is sung

[09BowornratP]

rainbow country MY ASS

[flynnbot]

we sing harder at die stem because its our own language and we know what it means. if this happens in any other country nobody says a word, because its s.a then everyone says we'r racist

[robotminione]

I think it's because they actually know the words meanings, not just the sounds. Same with the English part of the NZ anthem.

[KingMatt292]

any chance of the highlights of this game? 8 try thriller ;)

[Spoonhorse27]

I am Welsh, but Claire Johnson sings the S.A anthem superbly!! Well done Claire

[fosman2006]

Isn't Claire Johnson south african? She sings the SA anthem so flawless.

[fosman2006]

Nkosi+Die stem (our SA national anthem) is the most lyrical and moving of all anthems. Always brings tears to eyes.

[fosman2006]

*my eyes* ;O)

[TomAraya23]

its only been 13 odd years since the

end of apartheid so give em a break

it'l take some time.

[gombeen06]

did you notice all the racist bastards in the crowd only sang the second "european" part of the SA national anthem and audibly cheered when the first "african " part ended. rainbow nation my arse. they should dump "die stem" and just play the first part at rugby matches because it seems to me that it's just watched by crusty old white racists

[sexyray262]

you dont know what the fuck the stem and apataid is all about so go fuck ureself you stupid cunt.....

[blaquecherry419]

both anthems are great.

[valerno]

allez les boks pour la coupe du monde de rugby 2007

[Gizo02]

Two of the best anthems in the world being played here. I'm a Kiwi but I think that the SA anthem is great.

[InuMaama87]

ohh yeah sure SA really owned new NZ Anthem??? NZ sounds way better in my opinion especially with the haka

[Gizo02]

LOL well considering the match was played in South Africa, it would be pretty worrying if the SA anthem didn't own the NZ one. When they play in Auckland it's a role reversal obviously.

[mandy158]

SA anthem absolutely OWNED the NZ one!!!!!!! Really loved it!

[Longie77]

go bokka thanks buddy

[electronicstorm]
