Dancing in the streets of Cape Town
We came across this group of traditional dancers entertaining people in the streets of Cape Town just before the Cameroon Netherlands game during the 2010 World Cup.
Similar displays have caused an uproar with some people feeling that it is inappropriate for women to dance topless. Others however, feel that it is no more than a display of African culture.

I figure Mardi Gras must be something like this!

Up close and personal with fans at the World Cup
Someone once said, “In Africa, football is not a religion, but it is everything a religion should be.”
Every day we wake up to the sound of vuvuzelas in the streets. It is like a clarion call for all football fans to wake up to another day of electrifying games. South Africa has been swept away by the vuvuzela tide. Always the radical, I promised myself that I would not conform to popular culture. I detested these vile, offensive noise makers. But eventually, I let my hair down and puckered up. Still, many shops here now advertise great deals on ear plugs or “anti-vuvuzela devices”. Read full story here.
