Vuvuzela South Africa

20 Days to Kickoff at Soccer City today. Its Football Friday, my favourite day of the week when I wear my Bafana Bafana Jersey.

Waka Waka Official 2010 World Cup Song

I’m even starting to hum the Official 2010 World Cup song, you know that Waka Waka Song, that we’re all so pissed off about. Well I’m still unhappy that FIFA didn’t pick an African singer to do the World Cup Song, but then I thought, wtf who ever remembers these songs? Can you remember any of the previous ones?  And  I read in a story in You magazine how excited Freshlyground were to be doing it, so I’ve changed my attitude – now I Waka Waka along  as I go about my bizniz.

Diski Dance in Durbs

The Diski dance I won’t get, ever – I’ve accepted that -  I’m an old mlungu with two left feet – my brain might groove on the Beautiful game, but my feet, eish – they would rather be propped up on something in front of the TV with a cold one in my hand – so I’m not going to diski dance, sorry Brand South Africa! (I’ve actually always been suspicious of these manufactured things that marketing types think up and try to cajole us into).

South African National Flag

I love my flags. I have mirror socks on my car and two flags hooked onto my windows that are so big my petrol consumption has doubled because of the drag, but I’m grooving with my South African flags. I also have my favorite ones I carry to Bafana Bafana games, but unfortunately something went wrong with the match allocation process and we’ve got a bit screwed here in eThekwini.

We didn’t get enough games or enough teams. I think someone at FIFA is jealous of our great weather and our beautiful Moses Mabhida Stadium.

But today is Football Friday and we are “catching gees” (* gees is an afrikaans word for spirit  ) as we used to say at school. So I look over at my growing vuvuzela collection with pride.

Buy a Vuvuzela

OK, I confess, I am a vuvuzela junkie. I can’t stop buying them. If you haven’t yet, you must buy at least one vuvuzela – wow they are all over the place now, and really cheap – under R20 in Pick ‘n Pay. I saw beautiful vuvuzelas at Mr Price Sports and the ones the guys sell along the road with the flag are so cool.

If you just want one for a souvenir, buy a vuvuzela at Woolworths – I see they have beaded one.

Buy your Staff Bafana Bafana Shirts

Just a little Football Friday note – why not buy your staff some shirts – there are a whole range of them from R90 shirts at Mr Price with Bafana Bafana on to the really expensive replica Bafana Bafana jerseys.

We got this in our inbox, looks like a good offer:

I have been getting huge enquiries the last couple weeks about the Bafana Supporters Shirts after they were sold out, Good news is that we have another 2500 shirts in stock which will probably last about 2 weeks. If you want to get your office geared up for the world cup order soon. Sizes range from men’s Medium – XXL and now also Ladies sizes 10 and 14 .
