“Kaptein” Kurt fails to inspire Springboks to win
The South African rugby team, the Springboks, are feared and respected for their uncompromising, physical playing style.
It came as a surprise when News24 reported that Kurt Darren, an Afrikaans pop cheeseball renowned for disco-lite hits Loslappie, Meisie Meisie and Kaptein Span die Seile was selected to hand out the players’ jerseys before a crucial Tri-Nations clash against the Australian Wallabies at their stronghold in Brisbane.
Darren, not one to shy away from free publicity, latched on to the occasion, trying to draw a parallel between his strangely successful career and the monumental task facing the Springboks.
“Music and rugby reflect the psyche of the South African population”, mused the self-professed rugby fan, adding that “the music industry is tough” and that he knows what it is like to go through tough time.
Darren’s presence failed to inspire the Springboks as they slumped to a 30-13 defeat to their Antipodean hosts.
