FIFA won't ban the vevuzala at the upcoming World Cup, huh? Hopefully, it will only be heard at matches involving the South African team, plus other matches (if any) held in South Africa.

If it's part of their national football culture, and it arose during the time of reconciliation, I can see why it should be allowed. (It would probably be impossible to supress, anyway).

Still, the degree to which the rest of the world finds this noisemaker annoying might mitigate against ever again holding a major international event in South Africa.
