Hello World, Welcome to Africa

Hello world, Welcome to Africa

Touch the earth, revive your soul
Let your ears feel the resound of the roar
of your most feared animal

Hello world, Welcome to Africa

Blow a Vuvuzela, dance a jig, score a goal, 
sew a seam on the flag of unity

Hello world, Welcome to Africa

Dispel, transcend, expend...
Myths, fears, jeers
Catupult your embrace

Hello world, Welcome to Africa

Purchase hope, perseverance, true love, real happiness
Abandon Mistrust

Hello world, welcome to Africa

Return to your worlds in 
Awe, inspired, ashamed

Hello world, Welcome to Africa

Communicate, celebrate,
Similarities, differences, change
Obviate distance, distrust, despise

Hello world, Welcome to Africa

memorable moments

So, in a minute of being carried away by the "2 oh 1 oh" fever that has gripped the nation, I fell into a moment of reminiscing.


THE LAST SWC I was at a turning point in my life...deciding whether 2 continue with my degree or not. I remember tht world cup not because of Zedan or the countless goals saved by the german Goal keeper, but because of the sudden high status that the so-called Engineering "pansy" gained for offerring to organise DSTV.

The SWC before that was my matric year...and so the SWC's have played important roles in my life. The 1 before that I recall watching with my then 3yr old cuz who used to lurv soccer. He seems to have outgrown the game now though.

I cant wait for this World Cup to get underway. I'm hoping for more memorable moments :-)

Engineers bring home the cup

Thank you to the engineers(and engineering practitioners of whatever sort who worked on the projects) of the south Africa. if no1 else thanks you then, let it be noted, that I have taken notice.

In the past few years with stadiums being constructed , highways and roads being revamped, the GAUTRAIN being whispered of, our infrastructure being developed, power crises being dealt with, information transfer rates being challenged, and all in all our credibility being on the line...you have soldiered to make South Africans proud.

I guess that i am proud , because, when people say "I was there" , I can be part of the few who say " I made it happen"

Imports of FIFA items are being delivered on-time and to the right people on world class sea, rail and road transport systems, to destinations that are world class and are leaving the northern hemisphere in awe of our ability rather than our primitivity.

Thank you for inspiring me to aspire to be the best that I can be
