Cape town is full of culture and especially in the townships. There is a lot of history, culture and various unique experiences waiting to be explored. It would be great if major events like the Super 14 can be held where we can all (rich, poor, black, white, city mayor and street sweeper) can unite under the banner of naltion building. Thank you Irma and Lynda for your kind words…and Thank you Martin for giving me the opportunity to open my big mouth.. :)

I can only think what a pity that the Cape Town stadium wasn't built in one of the townships, like Soccer City in Soweto, where all visitors to the stadium would have been exposed and touched by the vibrancy and hospitality of the people who live there. Sowetans changed the way first time visitors to the township viewed them and their lives when the rugby was scheduled at Orlando. There were so many bridges built, quick thinking business opportunities popped up ("you can park in my driveway" I'll guard your car", boerewors rolls got cooked, etc.) and everyone looks forward to the next time they will go there. This is how township folk take ownership! Keep your vision alive Zolani. Keep persevering Zolani, you’ll make it!
