Die Heuwels Fantasties named Springbok's Arts Ambassadors

Afrikaans alternative act Die Heuwels Fantasties have been invited by the Department of Arts and Culture to act as Arts Ambassadors for the Springboks at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. They will fly to New Zealand today to join the Boks at their pre-events and press functions. They will also do shows and attend a signing session with the Boks while they are there. The band's Hunter Kennedy said: “It is unbelievable.  It almost feels as if we were chosen for the team, haha!  It is an honour to represent our country and to support the Bokke and we have never been to New Zealand! Green and Gold!”
