Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DoJ&CD) officials gathered at the reception to pledge support for the 2010 Soccer World Cup on 20 November. Officials displayed the spirit of a winning nation by wearing Bafana Bafana soccer jerseys and blew the vuvuzelas.
Wearing her yellow Bafana jersey, Ms Constance Masango was one of the first 200 officials to receive a free vuvuzela per courtesy from Public Education and Communication (PEC) unit.
"I am excited for our soccer team and South Africa as the 2010 World Cup hosts," said Ms Masango. She encouraged officials to wear Bafana jersey every Friday and proudly support the "national team."
Johny Moatshe DoJ&CD official and member of the Justice choir pledged his support for the team by joining the crew with creative Bafana songs. He said Football Friday is for showing pride and patriotism about the national team. "I am not a soccer fanatic but because of the patriotism displayed today, I even learned how to blow the vuvuzela," he said. Responding about national team's 2010 performance, Mr Moatshe said he is not good on predictions but he believes that as the first country in the continent to host the soccer world cup, it will leave a mark.
