Bet there wasn’t a single person watching the World Cup opening ceremony who didn’t feel a surge of pride.
We experienced World Cup fever in our Cape Town and Johannesburg offices in true style, as you can see from the pictures below.
And of course we whooped with joy when Siphiwe Tshabalala scored the first goal of the tournament.
We connected with his proud family shortly after the match (page 12). Also read on page 14 about how South Africa is wowing the world.
Right until the tournament started critics in overseas newspapers were having a go at our country. But that’s all changed.
I’ve had a surge of house-swop offers and I’m sure it has to do with the beautiful Experience South Africa ads that are being flighted worldwide and the wonderful publicity the soccer has generated. Go Mzansi, go!
