Newtown...Catching Football Fever

Not quite sure how to describe this years 2010 soccer world cup…I meant to write a blog after South Africa’s game last wed nite, but it was really quite depressing and I had absolutely no inspiration! 3-0 to who ever it was and the injustice of it all! And then I realized “wow, this football fever…it shouldn't influence my moods so much!” but 2010 really, truly, is a big deal for South Africa, even if it’s just emotionally! The vibe at the fan park in Newtown before the game and the vibe after were worlds apart! And then of course it dawned…isn’t that exactly what ‘fever’ does, it chills you to the bone and fires you up moments later! So we shouldn’t be surprised by unexpected twists around the corner, Football fever is gonna catch us unawares til the 11 of July 2010…try enjoy the ride!

Soweto

I realize it's 2010 and therefore soccer is all people are really talking and tweeting about, I'll get there, but first...Soweto! Besides being an acronym of sorts(South-West Townships) and housing most of Jozi's population...Most Joburgers (the white kind)know min about it and have yet to set foot in this important place! And so all I ask is; PLEASE visit, it will begin to give you a better idea of who and what JHB is. Besides the awesome yummy deal I got for lunch; Pap, T-Bone and Salad at 30 Rond, there is so much that Soweto offers of its self to Johannesburg. June 16 coming up is a great example! This truly is the heart of Jozi and I believe in the future that whatever happens in Soweto will have an impact on the rest of the city!
