Well, i love different cultures, but vuvuzelas is not a matter of accepting different cultures. You cant talk, you cant hear, you cant hear a match ON TV!. I love your culture, but this is, simply, annoying.

Stop the bus. I said the comments from the vuvu haters were racist – not vuvuhaters themselves. I’m glad you are such a devoted supporter. I am annoyed about the fact that people from other countries try to tell us how to be and how to celebrate. And J, sadly when it comes down to it, it is always about race. I never said anything about white South Africans being racist by the way – if you look at the pics on my blog, many are of white friends at soccer matches blowing vuvus I’m overwhelmed by the support of the whole of South Africa for Bafana Bafana.

Don’t you want to do me a blogpost with photos of your vuvuzelas – I didn’t think anyone else collected them. info@vuvuzelasouthafrica.co.za

To “Youngy”, “Dreyer” and “Lemmy”:
Dreyer- I can tell you are an uneducated excuse for a human being from the simple fact that anyone who is arrogant enough to take the Lord’s name in vain is an absolute tosser. Your arguments fall nothing short of vacant opinion when your grammar and content is so utterly useless. Your inability to understand the concept of “culture” as well as your inability to construct a coherent sentence may almost be impressive… to the people who invented the wheel.

Youngy- You need to watch the games more closely son. The people blowing Vuvu’s in “non African” games are not Africans. They are tourists. Some people love them and some people hate them. What ever the case man, don’t be so flippin’ obnoxious and ignorant.

Lemmy- You consider yourself a non-racist because you’ve “worked with” black people? Sho, how incredibly open minded of you. But then you end your comment with “I will make jokes about South Africa and their n*gger horns”. . WHAT a noddy!
“Take the feelings of the guest nations seriously”. Damn, sorry dude, do you want a hug?

Look, I get that there are people who don’t like the noise. Fair enough. You are entitled to your opinion but at the end of the day it is just that- your opinion.
This is not Europe. It is not the Americas. It is Africa. AFRICA. Remember that. You are in our home and if you don’t like it then please go home to your safe-zone.

Someone mentioned the behavior of Brit thug supporters, lighting of flares, throwing toilet paper etc…
You don’t see us Africans beating up rival supporters after the game or being violent and disrespectful.

This isn’t worth my time- those of you who are bringing race into this should take a look at yourselves and PIPE DOWN.

We are African- whether we are black, white, blue or green. And we are proud of our heritage, our country, our culture, our AYOBANESS, our ability to realise that some of you are just not worth arguing against because you just aren’t smart enough to understand.

South Africa 2010- what a privilege. Welcome to our country and I hope you can get passed our “native culture” and enjoy the flawless beauty of our incredible nation. If you don’t like it here, then we hope you have a safe trip home.

God bless.
