I remember when the countdown was sitting at 500 days and most people were still oblivious to the fact that South Africa was the first African nation to host this spectacular event.
So timed dragged on along and the foundations of stadiums were remarked, roads restructured and the cities revamped. Looked like they were taking their damn time to finish but hey its almost done, its a scramble for the last few days but its almost done.
I'm officially feeling the fever, I must say. I'm excited and waiting to share my space with the rest of the world. Its an opportunity for foreigners to experience this country in its entirety and not the snippets that are portrayed on the international news channels.
They will realize that this country is, please dont mind the cliche, a place of possibilities. Its a country full of colour and explodes with potential. It has everything needed to produce uniqueness and to mystify. Its different cultures and languages are certainly enough to fill hearts with pride. This is home and fills my soul. This is the place that foreigners are set to connect with for the next month... so they need to see the optimistic picture and they will go back home with lasting memories.
So while they are here, I shall be trailing behind the beautiful men that are the best products from overseas. See if I can hold some of them captive!... hahaha!
I'm ready for the World Cup and I cant wait for it... so to the greatest football spectacle... Welcome to Mzantsi.
Feel it! Because it is just around the corner...
