World cup opening ceremony

[mrbumblebee]

Does anyone know if the song hope will be played at the opening ceremony. Siphiwo Ntshebe, an African tenor was to sing the song hope at the opening, but tragically died of meningitis on 27th of June. He had recorded the song, which includes words from Nelson Mandela. It would be fitting to hear this wonderful man fulfill his dream.
