    Just before the start of the SA/Britain women’s hockey game at the London Cup yesterday, both teams had their national anthem played at the stadium. Except, when it was South Africa’s turn, they got played “Die Stem”. The South African Hockey Association has now requested a personal apology from competition manager Steve Catton.

    South Africa went on to win 3-1.

    Marissa Langeni,  SA Hockey Association CEO, had the following to say this morning:

    We are extremely disappointed that an administrative blunder has been the source of much embarrassment for our team and all South Africans. The anthem played caused our team much discomfort as they stood not knowing what to do with themselves. This incident has robbed our team of what should have been a moment of pride.
