In the News

Welcome to the Awesome SA website! We have made it bright and interactive so that the voice of South Africans, positively influencing the future can be heard everywhere.

Thank you to all our fellow Awesome South Africans for the most amazing experience of the 2010 World Cup.  And now it’s all over – the expectation of the world and the anticipation of each and every South African. South Africa made headlines once again and it wasn’t only about the soccer – it was also amazement; it was praise; it was congratulations and it was celebrations. This World Cup reinforced the saying: We’ve done it before we can do it again. We may take the rollercoaster route and leave things to the 11th hour but wow ...when we get there, we sure make a statement.

From one proud South African to another, thank you for making this all possible.

So read the articles we’ve collected over the years, have a look at what our book has to offer and post a guest comment before you leave....and don’t forget to pass on the magic.

Waka waka eh eh. Feel it. It is here. The time has come but not ended.  It is just the beginning.

Talk about being positive. The 2010 World cup has kick-started all the good feelings among the people of South Africa and shown us once again that  although we speak amny languages ans worship in different ways, we are united as South Africans under out multi-coloured flag.

We have seen once again how easy it is to give a thumbs up- 'sharp-sharp" to a stranger, just because he also has mirror socks on his car or start chatting to someone in the supermarker in a Bafana jersey.
