Well, when you have a good thing, everyone want to jump on the bandwaggon – the latest is an invention called the Kuduzela. But this pretender won’t ever unseat the Vuvuzela.
- ok, I also laughed when I heard about it or in computer speak I (rofl).
2010 Website
And behind this revolutionary and original invention is … ta, da … First National Bank, home of Shine2010, one of the most pro management/business/ lets see how much we can milk out of 2010- kind of websites around.
Anyway back to the kuduzela, which, according to IOL is … a new wind instrument shaped like a kudu horn, and was unveiled as a football icon that would be used for the 2010 Fifa World Cup and other sporting events in South Africa.
The initiative was a joint effort by First National Bank, the South African National Parks (SANParks), and the Kudu-Kudu Manufacturing plant.
A Football Icon ?
A football icon – I though Jomo Sono and Pele and David Beckham are a football icons?
A Kudu Horn
“The Kudu horn, he said, emits a sound that some have called the “true sound of the savanna. However the kuduzela, up close and solitary, sounds like a trumpeting elephant and en masse the sound is more like a massive herd of elephants trumpeting and when there’s action near the goal mouth you will hear the elephants going really crazy,“ said Mabunda.
After I read this, I checked the date on the article again because I couldn’t believe my ears – 14 July 2009
FNB chief executive officer Michael Jordaan said it was evident that South Africa was capable of hosting “amazing” international events, as displayed in the recent Fifa Confederations Cup 2009.
“The kuduzela will not only give visitors a South African experience but a truly African experience as well,” he said in a statement.
No ways, these guys must have been eating funky maroelas or smoking some wicked DP.
Have they never heard of Vuvuzelas?
Have they never hear of Vuvuzela’s. No wait they must have, why else call a kudu horn a kuduzela?
And do they really think that they are going to impose this on the soccer public with their Vuvuzelas, nine months before 2010 kicks off?
I say, bring it on…

Thanks for your innovation however, we prefer Vuvuzela with its true unique South african Sound. Maybe Rugby with Springbok as the nickname it could match. No hard feelings.
Is this Kuduzela same like the Vuvuzela
