A Springbok anthem to power the team and engage fans in a momentous rugby year will be given its first public performance at halftime during Saturday’s Castle Lager Rugby Championship match against Argentina at Emirates Airline Park. SuperSport will also broadcast the performance live during their match coverage. The anthem is based on Mgarimbe’s Sister Bethina – often cheekily dubbed as South Africa’s second national anthem – but now given a Springbok makeover. “The response from everyone who has heard the song has been fantastic,” said Marlon Kruger, SA Rugby’s senior marketing manager. “Sister Bethina has been part of our test match presentation since 2018, and is played straight after the national anthem, and it always gets the crowd going.
