Ntokozo Mbambo to sing national anthem at Springboks vs Ireland game in Durban

Following Keabetswe "KB" Motsilanyane's stirring rendition of the national anthem at Loftus Versfeld Stadium last weekend, fans are gearing up for another treat at the Springboks vs. Ireland game in Durban. On Saturday, July 13, award-winning gospel songstress Ntokozo Mbambo will take the stage, promising a powerful and memorable performance.

Social media is buzzing with anticipation, with fans eagerly sharing their excitement for the event. "Yoh!!! She might have to sing the national anthem ALL THE TIME after this. Can't wait!" exclaimed Unique Pilot. Glendle Bock echoed the sentiment, commenting, "Wow, looking forward to it. Powerful worshipper and vocalist."

Some fans, however, expressed a desire for a gospel-infused rendition, echoing the praise for KB's performance. "KB has set the bar extremely high. I hope she does not disappoint and gives us a gospel rendition of the anthem…just saying," commented Simphiwe.

The highly anticipated Springboks vs. Ireland game kicks off at 5 pm at the Hollywoodbets Kings Park Stadium in Durban, marking the Springboks' second home game since their Rugby World Cup triumph. The team, still riding the wave of victory, is determined to showcase their skills once again on home turf.

In a recent video shared by the official Springboks Instagram account, stars Damian de Allende and Franco Mostert reflected on their return to Mzansi, expressing their gratitude for the overwhelming support they received after their World Cup win. With Ntokozo Mbambo set to elevate the atmosphere with her powerful vocals, the game promises to be a memorable experience for both players and fans alike.

Farai Diza (FD): What inspires your poetry? Natalia Molebatsi (NM): I am inspired by words and how they are able to influence conversations. Through poetry we can also navigate our emotions and experiences, including the joys and trauma that our bodies carry.
