I’m South African… and I’m proud of it!

I’m happy Bafana Bafana's performance, despite not winning the game against Brazil. Our game plan was simple - we defend and we go to penalties and we win the game. The fighting spirit was excellent by everyone.

I called the radio yesterday blowing my vuvuzela with my friends and sending good luck wishes to Bafana Bafana… why… cos I’m South African. (Supporters)

When I sang Nkosi Sikelela iAfrica izolo… I was proud to sing it with my beloved Bafana and my South Africans… why… cos I’m South African.

When Khune was making great saves and shouting his lungs out for the boys to push forward… I was happy as… I’m South African. (Itumeleng Khune)

When I saw Booth, Gaxa and Mokoena fight like that at the back… I was happy to be South African. (Matthew Booth, Aaron Mokoena & Siboniso Gaxa)

When Maselila shouted at Gaxa for making a mistake that almost presented Robinho with a chance to score… I was happy as I’m South African. (Tsepo Masilela)

When Kagiso showed his physical strength, kept his cool and showed his defensive ability… I was happy as I’m South African. (Kagisho Dikgacoi)

When the midfield maestro showed leadership at the middle and the fighting spirit… I was happy as I’m South African. (Steven Pienaar)

When Tshabalala showed good touches with Pienaar ku midfield… I was happy as... I’m South African. (Siphiwe Tshabalala)

When “Mr. Take no Prisoners” aka “Mhlongo” outsmarted Kaka… I was joyful blowing my vuvuzela like mad… as... I’m South African. (Benson Mhlongo)

When Parker was kicked around by the Brazilian defenders and midfielders… he didn’t go down… he stood up and fought-fight for his country…. I was happy to be a South African. (Bernard Parker)

When Teko almost scored for us… my heart almost when outside of my body… yes… I was happy… I started drawing tactics with my friends…. why… as... I’m South African! (Teko Modise)

When Mokoena killed our "dream" to play in the Final… I was not angry… we all make mistakes… he is South African…. I’m South African… I was disappointed, but happy… as we are South Africans. (Aaron Mokoena)

When I saw Santana’s face… he wanted to cry… I wanted to cry… why… cos I was proud… and yes... I’m South African. (Coach Santana)

When I look around for the first time since 2000… I saw light.

Congratulations Bafana Bafana – winning is not everything… but making me proud and showing that hunger… made me even more proud to say… I’m South African!
