Siphiwo Ntshebe (28 June 1974–25 May 2010) was a South African tenor opera singer. Former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela personally selected Ntshebe to perform at the opening ceremony for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in Johannesburg. Ntshebe died of meningitis on 25 May 2010, days before he was due to perform at the opening ceremonies on 11 June 2010. Keith Lister, chief executive of Sony Music Entertainment, the parent of Ntshebe's record label, described his death as "a sad, tragic story."

Uk it will be on Star World most probably, will go home and check the listings. Espnstar has been playing the World Cup anthem every 5 minutes for the past one month and have the rights to the WC so will surely be showing this as well or India's national TV will be showing it. One of the two. If all else fails then will watch live streaming.
Wk where will you watch this?
Which channel is showing this..Al Jazeera?
TFS, I know what I will be doing tonight :)
