Springboks: Hometown talent to sing SA anthem

The Springboks got their Test season under way this past weekend against Italy, and Loftus once again helped deliver a rousing rendition of the SA anthem sung by Bernice West.

It’s now been confirmed by TheSouthAfrican that the anthem this Saturday will be sung by popular SA artist, Belinda Davids, who is best known for her tribute show, “The Greatest Love of All,” which pays homage to Whitney Houston.

She has a four-octave vocal range and has performed alongside artists like Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole, and Monica. 

Born in Port Elizabeth, Davids’ musical journey began in her childhood, surrounded by gospel music in her large family. Despite not having formal vocal training, she developed a remarkable vocal range and the ability to sing in various genres. 

She gained international recognition for her Whitney Houston tribute show, “The Greatest Love of All,” which features her singing Houston’s hits with a live band and backing vocalists. The show incorporates state-of-the-art sound, lighting, and theatrical effects. Belinda has toured extensively with this show in the US, Europe, UK, Ireland, Russia, Dubai, and South Africa. 

In addition to her tribute show, Belinda has also appeared on television shows like Fox TV’s “Showtime at the Apollo” and BBC1 TV’s “Even Better Than the Real Thing”. She has also charted on the RiSA charts in South Africa.

Saturday’s Test against Italy kicks off at 17:10 and will be broadcast live on SuperSport and SABC.
