2010 is a big year for South Africa and Cape Town as billions of people will be watching us host the 2010 World Cup Soccer Tournament. I believe that it will be a resounding success, despite all the negative gloom and doom.

I will be behind our national team - Bafana Bafana - screaming, shouting and blowing my Vuvuzela, because this is my country and I am proud to be part of it.
