Nelson Mandela has chosen a South African singer to perform at the World Cup opening ceremony. Siphiwo Ntshebe died at the age of 34 due to meningitis. He was admitted to the hospital in Port Elizabeth last week and died on Tuesday. Ntshebe was scheduled to perform his new track Hope at the opening ceremony in Johannesburg on June 11. According to Nick Raphael, Epic boss, Ntshebe’s death was a tragedy for all those who believe in the power of music. His voice was truly wondrous and his music was unique in its melodies and the messages of hope and compassion are also truly inspiring. His new track Hope was a soaring track. It features a special message of hope and compassion which was written and spoken by Mandela. The track and an album with the same name were due to be released to go together with the World Cup. According to Pumza Fihlani in Johannesburg, Ntshebe was relatively not famous in South Africa. His appearance at the World Cup opening ceremony would have introduced him to a much wider audience in his own country.
