A comment piece that appeared in last week’s Mail & Guardian, and penned by Zola Maseko, stopped short of questioning South Africans’ attachment to the plastic horn that is the vuvuzela.
This is what Maseko had to say about the matter:
“…to say we did not feature prominently in this competition would be disingenuous. Failing to play any kind of football, we brought along the vuvuzela. This was our only contribution to the wonderful artistic spectacle that we witnessed in the past two weeks.
The other teams showed us art, passion and skill. They brought magic and genius to our country. We showed our appreciation by supplying a steady stream of indistinguishable noise…”
