Well Done Bafana Bafana!

Well done to the boys! The whole of Africa was rooting for Bafana Bafana yesterday, and although they did not get through to the next round in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, they beat France 2-1, which is something to be proud of. All South Africans are proud of their performance yesterday. Now we will get behind our second choice teams and continue to support the World Cup.

National Cleavage Day and Football Friday Rolled into One

I naturally put on my Bafana Bafana shirt this morning as I prepared for the day. After all, it is Friday and in South Africa that is translated as Football Friday or Vuvu Friday. I love the fact that I don't have to think about what to wear on Fridays.


National Cleavage Day
The next thing I discovered that today is National Cleavage Day, to promote the prevention of breast cancer, certainly a worthy cause for any woman, or man for that matter.


My problem was that my Bafana shirt shows absolutely zero cleavage.


Proudly South African and Proudly Woman
Being proudly South African and even more proudly all woman, I wanted to participate in both Football Friday and National Cleavage Day. So I dug through my wardrobe until I found my green super springbok t-shirt with the yellow trim and low cut neckline. Aha, the right colours and cleavage to bare. 


The True Heroes of National Cleavage Day
I proudly donned my new shirt for the day, stood tall and headed for work, thanking God that I have been spared the trauma that so many women have had to face in the struggle against breast cancer. They are the true heroes of National Cleavage Day.

Football Friday

Being proudly South African, I have decided to jump on the "Football Friday" band wagon.  I was very kindly given a Bafana Bafana shirt the other day and I have been patiently waiting for Friday to arrive so that I could wear it with all the other South Africa supporters.


WHERE ARE ALL THE 'FOOTBALL FRIDAY' FELLOWS?


I must say that I felt a little lonely as I gaily stepped out in my yellow and greens.  There were not too many others dressed similarly.  As I went about my business, I kept peering around to see more soccer shirts.  Each time I saw someone else wearing Bafana kit, I was so excited.  I felt like a little kid on Halloween allowed to go 'trick or treating'.  It reminded me of school days, when we could go to school in 'civvies' instead of our regular school uniform.  Now, I just want to see more of us enjoying the treat.


SPORTS UNITES A NATION


Having recently watched "Invictus" and remembering the incredible vibe at that time, encourages me to get behind the boys and support them wholeheartedly in this 2010 FIFA World Cup.  I recall when we won the Rugby World Cup in South Africa all those years ago, how we danced together in the streets and celebrated as one.  Well, we probably won't win this one, but let's celebrate nevertheless.


BUY A BAFANA BAFANA SHIRT


Beg, borrow, but please don't steal, to obtain a Bafana Bafana shirt and join the already initiated every Friday.  Schools are joining in the fun, workplaces are getting involved, so now it is time for the individuals to gear up.  


What better cause than to cause a nation to unite once again.

  

One Hundred Days until the FIFA World Cup

One hundred days to go until the FIFA 2010 World Cup.  There is celebration and excitement all over South Africa.  Roads are closed and traffic is extreme as South Africa gears up for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.  Celebrations in Durban are being held at the Moses Mabhida Stadium and in Johannesburg in Sandton, where streets are being closed for an all day street party.


A Nation Celebrates
It is wonderful to have something to celebrate as the nation looks forward together in anticipation to the spin offs of hosting the World Cup.

There are people in yellow Bafana Bafana jerseys all over the place, supporting and encouraging our local team.  We are all hoping that our boys will get through their first match, however, regardless of the result, soccer fever is viral in South Africa at present.  Everyone is joining in the spirit of the soccer World Cup.  

A Challenge is Given

With a hundred days to go, the challenge has been presented that we, as South Africans, only speak positively about our nation.  Speaking positively for the next hundred days can only have a good impact on the future of the country.  I say, "Let's do it!"  Go, Bafana Bafana!  Viva South Africa!
