Kurt Darren: I would never intentionally mess up the lines to our anthem
He has been blasted on social media for getting the words wrong in the second stanza of Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika, and now Kurt Darren says he was “caught up in the moment” of the occasion of the Varsity Cup final.
He got the first line out – “Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso” – but instead of continuing with “O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho”, Darren repeated the last line of the first stanza, singing: “Yizwa imithandazo, yethu.” So, I will always take the singing our anthem seriously, I would never intentionally mess up the lines, why on earth would I? I was obviously caught up in the moment of singing acapella with 20 000 students and mixed up the words of a line, and I apologise profusely for that.🎼❤️@FMohokare tweeted: “It’s not a mistake to forget the words on our national anthem, it’s stupidity and ignorance.
