Ayoba meaning spirit. In this case spirit of Africa. I am African and it courses through my veins. They say once you have Africa in your blood you never get rid of her and I can tell you its true. The sky look different here and I know I am home as soon as my feet touch African soil. To be here when my country hosts a huge international event has been a privilege. I have been to 2 games in our wonderful new stadium , all brilliantly organised and amazing events. The atmosphere has been wonderful and I have blown my vuvuzela with pride.
I am proud of my country and I am proud to be south African and to be honest I just cant understand any south African that is not.
Besides Football or soccer as its known here we have been having ourselves a whale of a time over here as per usual. My mum and Dad are loving their little Lily . All my family and friends have been a sight for sore eyes. I'm, just soaking it all up.
the first match day was electric. here's the famous 4 (I'm the photographer) heading towards the waterfront with our beautiful mountain in the background. Its winter here, can you believe it

Ayoba!!
Glad you are here and having a good time!!
Wendy,I have to agree, there is no other place in the world I would rather be then right here in Cape Town, The world cup was amazing, and an experience I will never forgot. Did you know that the Homeless Soccer World Cup was won by South Africa in Italy 2009. Allot of preparations and hard works went into it and the best players get selected for the team. It is where all the soccer teams in the world from the homeless background plays against other countries, like Spain, Brasil, USA, Portugal, Germany ect. The first Homeless Soccer world cup SA participated in was Australia 2008. I am glad that you had such an amazing time here in Cape Town.
