Why Bafana Bafana have to rebrand for 2010
I found the below extract from an article posted on BizCommunity quite interesting. Why Bafana Bafana have to rebrand for 2010:

Who The Fuck Is Kevin Pietersen?
I thought I’d be more upset that Allan Donald, one of South Africa’s most successful bowlers ever and one of my favourite cricketers growing up, is now coaching England’s Twenty20 (nice site!) team. Especially with fellow expat Kevin Pietersen also having crossed the boundary.

South Africa give England the boot
So it’s no RWC, but hey! – satisfying enough: South Africa take Dubai crown after giving England the boot.
South Africa captured the Dubai Sevens 2003/4 crown by beating New Zealand 26-19 in a pulsating Cup final to take an early lead in the IRB Sevens race for 2003/04. The enthralling display
Petition for the FIFA World Cup in 2010
I just became the 400th person so support South Africa’s bid for the FIFA World Cup in 2010 by signing their online petition, which is to be presented to FIFA in early 2004.
On a side note, how disgusing … view full post
