On the ball
Diplomats, their diaspora and ordinary Londoners braved the cold to gather in Trafalgar Square to watch the World Cup draw live on the big screen. As excited football fans waited, they joined in a huge public ‘Diski Dance’, a groovy jig specially created for the World Cup in South Africa which incorporates football moves (‘diski’ is township slang for football). After a special message from Nelson Mandela, the draw took place with whoops and cheers from the crowd, after which they broke out into South Africa’s sporting rallying cry Shosholoza accompanied by the distinctive trumpet of the vuvuzela, undoubtedly the sound of the 2010 World Cup.
