(This was supposed to be posted on Friday but two bottles of wine and a vodka nightcap got the better of me – I have spent the rest of the weekend feeling rather poorly!)
Anyone who knows me will know that I am proudly South African despite being born in Cardiff, Wales! I grew up in South Africa, I came of age, had my formative experiences, completed my schooling and of course, went to university in South Africa. My parents and sister still live in Johannesburg and Southern Africa is the place I would choose to return to for a holiday above any other country in the world. (And I have seen a few!)
Hopefully you all know that South Africa is hosting the Fifa World Cup Football Tournament which kicks off tonight in Johannesburg at Soccer City. This is the music video for the offical World Cup 2010 called Waka Waka (This time for Africa) performed by Shakira. It makes me want to get up and ululate and shake my hips in the African way!
(A fantastic article by a South Africa sports journalist can be found here written as an open letter to the foreign media who might have a negative opinion of our country!)
One Response to Waka Waka! This time for Africa – go Bafana Bafana!
