Laduma!!

South Africa may be the first World Cup host to not make it past the first round, but I am so proud of Bafana Bafana. They may have been the underdogs, but they're top dog in my book. They made this country proud.

People have complained about the vuvuzelas, worried about crime, wondered if South Africa could pull off hosting a World Cup, but I was never worried. South Africa has welcomed the world with open arms, has been most hospitable, and has given the world a truly African experience. Not a European experience, not a Latin American experience, but a uniquely, wonderfully South African experience.

South Africa, you make me proud.

What a nice positive entry! Thank you for this! We all knew South Africa was capable to do it - even years ago...but the world used to see us in a "different" way and what a pity...or is it what a shame.
