Giving it up for The Boys

What a rush. Watching Bafana Bafana crush the Kiwis in the Confederations Cup was fantastic. The stadium looked - and sounded - amazing. The game itself was quite exciting and the boys looked so cool - like real football stars. And those Vuvuzelas - there were about 46000 fans at the Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg and it sounded like just about every one of them was blowing their own horn (with good reason). Bring on the Spanish. We may not floor them like plates of tapas, but Bafana have created a chilli vibe around the Confed Cup and got the fans breathing fire.

Whingers - should they be allowed to speak?

Saffanisms (AKA buzzwords)

Saffa (n): South Africans. Usually used to describe expats (fondly)
Saffagette (n): A South African whose vote is reserved for Mzansi, the Motherland. A Saffagette is not an ostrich. A Saffagette has a vote and is determined to stand in a queue to cast it.
Saffavescence (n): Developed from saffervescence, which is a slang derivative of effervescence. Saffavescence means awesome, amazing - in a South African sense of course.
Saffaring (v): Being patriotic.
Suffaring (v): Having to listen to others not being patriotic.
