Fly the Flag Friday – Keep the “gees” South Africa
Fly the Flag Friday the new post-2010 World Cup jacket that Football Friday is wearing to keep South Africans focused on the positive.
According to Brand South Africa, the originators of the Fly the Flag Friday campaign, they will be encouraging South Africans to wear the colours of their flag, to keep flying the flag on their vehicles and at their homes and offices, and to embrace the spirit created during Africa's first, full-colour World Cup.
It is important for South Africans to remember that feeling of unity that we all felt during the run-up to the start of the 2010 World Cup. It is important for all South Africans never to foget the feeling of pride when an unprecedented crowd of hundreds of thousands of people in yellow jerseys, waving flags and blowing vuvuzelas lined the streets in Sandton to see Bafana Bafana before the tournament to wish them luck.
Having just arrived home after a ten day tour of following the 2010 FIFA World Cup, I feel privileged and proud to have experienced how as South Africans we have hosted the world over this once in a lifetime experience. The atmosphere in Johannesburg, Soweto, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Durban has been fantastic.
The countdown to the 2010 World Cup is going faster Steven Pienaar moves when he has his eyes on the opposition goal. And talking about opposition goals – the South African Football Association (Safa) is hoping that the new Jabulani ball will be flying into the net for the Bafana Bafana team many times – in fact, they have offered the South African team a million rand for every goal.
