Next stop for South Africa
I've just driven down to Bloemfontein with the author of this
looking at the next sporting hurdle for South Africa. A few weeks ago I'm sure a lot of people would have said "no chance" but surely not any more.
The four-hour trip from Johannesburg seemed like one long procession of hooting England fans. Last week the half-way petrol stop was packed with South Africans and their blaring vuvuzelas, heading for the show-down against France. This morning was a lot quieter, as German and English fans lined their stomachs with eggs and sausages at the garage cafΓ©.
Incidentally, President Zuma said South Africa would never be the same after the World Cup. Togo's striker Emmanuel Adebayor said much the same about the continent as a whole. As we head into the final stages of the tournament, I'm keen to hear from South Africans who have concrete experience of that. Has the World Cup changed your life?
