This week on Afternoons with Zweli, Zweli takes a look back at one of the most cringe-worthy moments in American sports history! Motown legend Martha Reeves hit the field for a professional women's baseball game, but her rendition of the US national anthem went viral for all the wrong reasons. With over nine million views and counting, viewers and players alike were left struggling to keep a straight face.

Zweli reminisces about other infamous anthem debacles over the years, from Fergie’s sensual 2018 NBA performance to Flavor Flav’s unexpected attempt. The crew also shares a laugh over the sheer difficulty of singing in multiple languages, reflecting on the multi-lingual pride of South Africa’s own national anthem.

It is a lighthearted look at the lighter side of music and sports, filled with brilliant humour, relatable blunders, and unforgettable television moments.

Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.
