You can keep your Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos; this winter the only two ‘must-haves’ is a South African flag and a vuvuzela!

Around the country South African flags wave a colourful welcome to the world from shop windows, homes, social networking sites (thanks to twibbon) and most notably on our roads where flags are hoisted from car windows and hug side mirrors.

Our nation has been gripped by the ‘gees’ (spirit) and excitement to be the first African country to host the FIFA Soccer World Cup! It’s a pretty big deal and it’s doing more than putting us on the map – its igniting our patriotism.

Our team showed Table View our ‘gees’ during the nationwide call to trumpet vuvuzelas at noon today.

No matter which country wins the cup, South Africa has scored the biggest win of all. We feel good about being South African and that’s the kind of gees that never goes out of style!
