The Opening ceremony is considered to be the biggest pop extravaganza in the continent’s history with 1,581 performers from around the world, including TKZee, Shakira, Alicia Keys and the Black Eyed Peas, as well as Algeria’s Khaled, Ghana’s Osibisa and Hip Hop Pantsula.
Sadly, South African opera singer Siphiwo Ntshebe who died from meningitis, was scheduled to sing his recently recorded song “HOPE” at the opening ceremony.
The 34-year-old, who was chosen by Nelson Mandela to perform at the opening ceremony of the World Cup, was admitted to hospital and died on May 26.
Millions of spectators, who will be watching the launch of the games, will be able to hear Siphiwo Ntshebe’s posthumous rendition of the song.

Bob, a handsome dude, walked into a
sports bar around 9:58 pm.
He sat down next to a blonde at the
bar and stared up at the TV for World Cup 2010 Highlights.
The 10 pm news was coming on.
The news crew was covering the story
of a man on the ledge of a large building
preparing to jump.
The blonde looked at Bob and said,
“Do you think he’ll jump?”
Bob said, “You know, I bet he’ll jump.”
Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and
said, “You’re on!”
Just as the blonde placed her money
on the bar, the guy on the ledge did
a swan dive off the building, falling
to his death.
The blonde was very upset, but willingly
handed her $20 to Bob, saying,
“Fair’s fair. Here’s your money.”
Bob replied, “I can’t take your money.
I saw this earlier on the 5 pm news,
and so I knew he would jump.”
