Goat fever has really caught fire in South Africa and of course rugby songs will also be released during this year’s Rugby World Cup. One of the tracks that is doing well is Leon Schuster’s “The Goat Machine” which climbs to number four on this week’s RNews Afrikaans Top-20.
Then “Saam South Africa” appears on the week’s Top-20 at number seven. The song is sung by four beloved artists: Robbie Wessels, Karlien van Jaarsveld, Ruhan du Toit and Anlia Star.
Die Piesangskille’s “Inge 2” remains in the number-one position for the time being and their other single, “Lyntjie”, climbs one place and stands at number two.
