Bafana Bafana Head Coach, Carlos Alberto Parreira has called on fans to be loud and proud and blow their vuvuzelas at Bafana matches. He even likens the vuvuzela to Bafana’s 12th man.
Vuvuzelas and Rugby at Orlando Stadium
For those who do not yet know what a vuvuzela is, well they haven’t watched a South African soccer match. And after the two rugby Super 14 semi and finals at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto the past two weekends, there is talk that the rugby fraternity is going to lobby for the use of vuvuzelas in rugby stadiums as well.
The Recent Comrades Marathon was run to the blast of vuvuzelas all the way from Pietermaritzburg to Durban. In fact the Vuvuzela has become a symbol of sport and hero’s and encouragement and support. It is a way of paying tribute to our heros and letting them know they are making us proud.
Vuvuzelas are about South African Pride
Vuvuzelas are certainly about South African pride. On football 365 Coach CAP says: “The support, it touched us in the game against Colombia – the excitement, the tension. “We need the vuvuzela. It is our 12th player and it will help us a lot.”
The Brazilian also vowed to make the host nation proud during the June 11 to July 11 finals.
He added: “Our goal is to go as far as possible in the World Cup. Our mission is to make the country proud.”
