World Cup South Africa was an opportunity to visit the motherland and the land of Nelson Mandela. It is
ironic that before every world cup there is negative reports from certain media markets about host countries.

Vuvuzela trumpet which ironically became the number one selling souvenir. In the end Spain prevailed over
Netherlands in extra time and Mandela made his last major public appearance.
