Thanks Hunny and Fresia for asking me to keep people up to date with the World Cup for the following month. I'm actually a very shy, anxious person. So I feel somewhat uncomfortable. I don't want people to think that I think I know everything. My greatest wish is just that this event could unite our nation. I know the movie 'Invictus' stated how the rugby event united our country, but that fact was overplayed for the sake of the movie. I am an Afrikaner(mixed Dutch, French, German). My language, Afrikaans, sounds like Dutch, my surname are French and I look Portuguese) My people were responsible for 'apartheid' and I'll always feel guilty about that. And unfortunately I'm a very sensitive person, too. Which doesn't help. I would say the fact that Nelson Mandela held out a hand of friendship to rugby,a sport sinonymous with white people, was tremendous. But it was he personally who did it. It wasn't really all the nationalities making peace and everyone forgiving each other. He is the real idol.
But anyway, I love soccer. So I'll keep writing for the love of the game!
