SA bits 50 - All hell broke loose today... in a good way of course.

I left home for the office at noon today, big mistake.
Today, 9th June 2010 is "Stand Behind Bafana Bafana" Day. At 12p.m, everyone is encouraged to show their support for South Africa's soccer team called Bafana Bafana. Not only did Bafana Bafana came to Sandton, so did everyone else! On a normal day, it would've taken me less than 5 minutes to reach the office. It took me half an hour today. This video shows why.

Close to 50,000 fans jammed the streets of Sandton, celebrating and blowing them vuvuzelas. Man, those things are LOUD! Here's a more environmentally friendly & artistic version compared with the conventional plastic cousin. The video tends to advertise Cape Town more if you ask me.

South Africa is ready,2 more days. The past 2 months have been a mad scramble and rush to finish off work and prepare the network for this event. Today is the official network freeze and we're apparently not suppose to do anything more for fear of breaking something :P. I just realised we're halfway through 2010 already..
