Late Siphiwo Ntshebe's Music in World Cup 2010 Opening | Watch Promo

Siphiwo Ntshebe

World Cup 2010 is being played in South Africa on June 11, 2010. The opening ceremony for the world cup is being held in South Africa with the theme song of great African opera singer "Siphiwo Ntshebe" who had just died last month. So the Nelson Mandela has announced to include his song as promo for the world cup 2010 and also to give tribute to him.

In a statement Mr Mandela said: "Very rarely does life put across your path a meritorious person with such outstanding singing ability. Such was the person of Siphiwo Desmond Ntshebe.

"It is some comfort, given the tragedy of Siphiwo's early death, that as the world's spotlight falls on South Africa millions of people across the globe will have the chance to hear and be uplifted by Siphiwo's wonderful music.
