Africa. The South African soccer supporters' icon. No decent soccer fan would leave home for the soccer match without his or her Vuvuzela. Adding to the appeal is the African folklore that "a baboon is killed by a lot of noise", so the last quarter of a game sees even more frantic blowing of vuvuzelas as supporters try to "kill off" their opponents.

From Wikipedia Vuvuzela... A vuvuzela, sometimes called a 'lepatata' (its Setswana name), is an air horn, approximately one metre in length, commonly blown by fans at soccer matches in South Africa. The origin of the name is disputed; it may originate from the Zulu for "making noise", or from the "vuvu" sound it makes, or from township slang related to the word for "shower". Originally made out of tin, the vuvuzela became popular in South Africa in the 1990s, The Vuvuzela can be blown by small children and it makes noise something like a charging elephant. The vuvuzela is a feature of matches between big South African soccer teams Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. The Chiefs supporters have yellow vuvuzelas while the Pirates have black-and-white vuvuzelas. Vuvuzelas have been controversial and have sometimes been banned from stadiums. Critics point out that the instrument is blown haphazardly and noisy which can be distracting when paying attention to the game. On the other hand many soccer fans argue that this instrument brings lively atmosphere to the stadium and it is has become part of South African football culture and a way of showing loyalty and dedication to your soccer team. Just as fans in other countries beat up drums, blow trumpets and sing, South African soccer fans blow the vuvuzelas. Rather than banning them fans need to familiarise themselves on how to blow the vuvuzelas. People should not blow them when it is silence and when blown they need to be organised into a rhythmic music sound accompanied by rhythmic movements. Other issues around the vuvuzelas were raised by the world football governing body, FIFA, who wanted to ban the usage of vuvuselas during the World Cup 2010 because of a concern that the instrument could be used as weapons by hooligans or by business to have an advertising presence in World Cup Stadiums.. However after the South African Football Association, SAFA, made a presentation that the vuvuzelas were essential for an authentic South African football experience, in July 2008 FIFA decided to drop the ban and vuvuselas will be allowed at matches during World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Vuvuzelas are rooted in African history as people would blow on a kudu horn to call villagers to a meeting. Adding to the appeal is the African folklore that "a baboon is killed by a lot of noise", so the last quarter of a game sees even more frantic blowing of vuvuzelas as supporters try to "kill off" their opponents.
