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.
Meanwhile , 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.
