SECTION A: COMPREHENSION QUESTION 1

Vuvuzela: SA football's beautiful noise What's plastic, a metre long, brightly coloured and sounds like an elephant? It's the vuvuzela, the noise-making trumpet of South African football fans, and it's come to symbolise the sport in the country. It's an instrument, but not always a musical one. Describing the atmosphere in a stadium packed with thousands of fans blowing

their vuvuzelas is difficult. Up close it's an elephant, sure, but en masse the sound is more like a massive swarm of very angry bees. And when there's action near the goal mouth, those bees go really crazy. To get that sound out requires serious lip and lung strength, and a fair amount of technique. It's said that the earliest form of vuvuzela was the kudu horn - called ixilongo in isiXhosa and mhalamhala in Tshivenda - blown to summon African villagers to meetings. Later versions were made of tin. Nowadays, made of plastic, they come in a variety of colours - black or white for fans of Orlando Pirates, yellow for Kaizer Chiefs, and so on - with little drawings on the side warning against blowing in the ear! The announcement, on 15 May 2004, that South Africa would host the 2010 Fifa World Cup gave the vuvuzela a huge boost, to say the least - some 20 000 were sold on the day by enterprising street vendors. It's a noisy thing, so there's no surprise some don't like it. Journalist Jon Qwelane once quipped that he had taken to watching football matches at home - with the volume turned low - because of what he described as 'an instrument of hell'. Viva the vuvuzela orchestra! Cape Town-based music educator Pedro Espi-Sanchis has a different view. To him the vuvuzela is a rousing instrument that can, when tuned correctly, play in an orchestra as easily as a flute, violin or cello. He says that the vuvuzela is a 'proudly South African instrument' with roots deep in local traditional music. He was introduced to it over 30 years ago by renowned South African ethnomusicologist Andrew Tracey. Espi-Sanchis came up with the idea of a vuvuzela orchestra after realising that crowds at a match could coordinate their trumpeting to make music.

In 2006 Espi-Sanchis and Thandi Swartbooi, head of the South African traditional music group Woman Unite, launched a vuvuzela orchestra as part of the Cape Town-based uMoya Music organisation. The orchestra was made up of a core group of seven people, with Espi-Sanchis as conductor and soloist on the lekgodilo flute and six musicians each playing a vuvuzela. It made its first public appearance at the Johannesburg Carnival in December 2006. Their most recent performance was at Super Stadium west of Pretoria in June 2008, when Bafana Bafana took on Sierra Leone.

(4101102) -4- NC940(E)(M16)V


Espi-Sanchis has found an excellent local football fan base, Bloemfontein Celtic football club, to accompany the vuvuzela orchestra. In November 2007, they taught 60 fans to play seven songs in just five days. Six musicians were responsible for 10 fans, and they taught them to play their parts. 'Now we want to bring up a fan base to support our national team,' says Espi-Sanchis. 'The vuvuzela music can be learnt very quickly ... we want to use the Celtic supporters as models for a national fan base. We're hoping to attract supporters through various advertising mediums, and of course we're also hoping to attract the attention of the LOC (2010 Local Organising Committee) and Safa (South African Football Association) with an eye to the opening and closing 2010 ceremonies.' Vuvuzelas are bound to play an integral part in South Africa's 2010 celebrations, and World Cup visitors are sure to go home with a vuvuzela or two tucked in their luggage - and a little ringing in their ears ...

SECTION B: SUMMARY QUESTION 2 Read through the passage and in not more than 80 words list SIX ways on how South Africa can ensure success during the 2010 soccer world cup by looking at the lessons learnt by Germany, the previous host of the soccer world cup.

INSTRUCTIONS • List at least SIX facts in full sentences. • Number your sentences. • Write only ONE fact per line. • DO NOT exceed the number of words stated above. Indicate the number of words you have used in brackets at the end of the summary.

New unity, new vision The brand strategy employed by Germany started with people, and it launched a massive, change management programme that aimed to create unity and a new vision of Germany. The country recruited researchers to look at the way that Germany was perceived. They wanted to do away with the idea that Germans were efficient, but otherwise unfriendly. Creating a winning feeling The next part of the strategy was to create a winning feel around the event and to extend the soccer experience beyond the stadiums. Giant screens were erected in parks to allow many thousands who could not get tickets to watch the games. Another important factor was that Germany did not treat fans like trouble makers, but treated them with respect. Despite Germany losing to Italy in the semi-finals, the loss on the field could not override the fact that Germany had won the 'World Cup of the hearts'. When the team arrived in Stuttgart for the third place game, they were given a hero's welcome - a feeling of pride had been restored, regardless of winning or losing. Every person's challenge To be the best World Cup ever, however, challenges every single person and organisation in the country to help and become champions. Cities must aspire to the highest standards. And, of course, having a competitive football team can add immeasurable value. Although the German team did not win the World Cup, their competitive spirit gave the nation something special. It is where great stories and heroes are made, and it can uplift a nation in ways no campaign can. This is an edited version of an address given at the UCT Graduate School of Business in Cape Town in September 2008.

If by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on !";

(4101102) -13- NC940(E)(M16)V


If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

QUESTION 10: BIOGRAPHY Read the following extracts on the biography, MADIBA BOYS: The stories of Lucas Radebe and Mark Fish written by Graeme Friedman. These two players were well-known and played for Bafana Bafana. Both of them captained European soccer clubs. They are now retired and still live in South Africa. THE WORLD CUP page 197

Lucas and Feziwe are roaring down a country road in the silver BMW 840i. They have been out for dinner and are on their way home. He's looking in the rear-view mirror. Fezi turns to look. A furry bundle is bouncing bizarrely on the spot, up and down, like a blip on a heart monitor. They have hit a rabbit. 'Oh, no,' groans Lucas. He's upset about the rabbit. He is left feeling bad about having brought on the animal's death. For some, killing a rabbit may portend bad luck. And footballers, after all, are notorious for having superstitions. There are those who claim that African players are the most irrational of the lot, but it is more likely that African rituals, such as imbibing potions, are simply more communal, more institutionalised and – from a non-African perspective – more exotic. European footballers tend to keep their rituals private. After the friendly against England at Old Trafford, Bafana Bafana were going to need strong muti. They were due to contest the Confederations Cup and defend their African Cup of Nations crown in Burkina Faso. Bafana had shown what they were capable of against African competition, but they had as yet failed to beat any of the European or South American teams. SAFA were looking for experience against the top guns and so Holland was lined up for the Nelson Mandela Inauguration Challenge. Lucas's old game of 'challenge' in the Diepkloof veld had taken on a whole new meaning. Page 250 Mark had had a very long season. Or double season really, having played at the World Cup, joined pre-season training late, because of this he had no summer break, and was now playing in late May. Still, he felt energised as he prepared himself to take his team out onto the Wembly pitch, the first time he would be playing at soccer's hallowed ground. It was a bank holiday, and the place was packed with over 70 000 spectators. It's a hot summer's day. The heat in the tunnel is close. Mark stands with his team-mates, the captain's armband on his arm, and then leads them out of the tunnel and onto the Wembly pitch. The stadium erupts. 'Feeesh! Feeesh!' Some fish hats bob up and down in the crowd.

(4101102) -16- NC940(E)(M16)V


'We're Bolton till we die; we're Bolton till we die!' The game kicks off. Bolton has the early possession. Mark takes a knock early in the game; there is blood on the back of his head. A few minutes later he is elbowed. He is bleeding like an injured soldier on the battlefield. Worse, he is suffering from mild concussion. Fifteen minutes into the second half he indicates to Todd that his head is aching every time he heads the ball. He thinks he should be taken off. Todd ignores him. MADIBA BOYS: The stories of Lucas Radebe and Mark Fish written by Graeme Friedman.

10.2 What emotion does Mark communicate on page 250?

Why do you think people are superstitious? It is said that Bafana will need strong muti. Explain the meaning of the word, muti in the context of the sentence. Is 'top guns' used literally or figuratively. Motivate your answer. What evidence of support is displayed by the crowd? Name TWO actions. Which soccer pitch is famously known as soccer's hallowed ground? How do you know that Mark was a committed player? Do you think that a player should be allowed to continue playing even if he has a serious injury? Give a reason for your answer. Express ONE wish that you have for South Africa during the Soccer World Cup of 2010.
