Written by Shakira and performed with South African band Freshlyground, the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup expresses the energy and vitality of the African continent.

After the song “Waka Waka” (This Time for Africa) was broadcast on radio stations, it immediately produced mixed feelings in South Africa, the host country for this year’s World Cup. According to talk radio host (Talk Radio 702) Jenny Crwys-Williams, many have called in to voice their disappointment. “I love it that South Africans are just coming together as South Africans and saying ‘Damn it, we’ve got our own people and it’s an African World Cup, it’s ours, it belongs to us, so why don’t we use some of the magnificent talent that we’ve actually got? That’s my reading of the calls we got,” Crwys-Williams explained.

 　 On the streets of Johannesburg, reactions have been mixed. Some strongly disapprove.

“It sucks. ‘Waka Waka?’ Shakira must not even come through and sing that song. I am serious. She must not. It sucks,” said Lindi Munonde.

Nomaswazi Thomo agrees. “Yeah, it has to be South African,” she said. “I mean, we’ve got so many talented South African singers who can actually pull it off. And really, I mean, how is Shakira going to sing the African part of it?”

Others say the World Cup is not just about South Africa, it’s about South Africa hosting it and bringing it to the world.

Sechaba Sebusho states, “I don’t have a problem with it being sung by a non-South African in the sense that it might be an African World Cup or a South African World Cup, but it is for everyone to enjoy.”

Olebogeng Ntsime agrees, “For the fact that it has Freshlyground, they are people who originate from South Africa. I think it’s OK. Whether it’s Shakira or Beyonce, I think it’s OK.”

Heidi Botes says, “I think what’s great about the fact that there are a lot of artists, it unites the world. The soccer World Cup is not just about South Africa, it’s about South Africa hosting it and bringing the world.”

One night last February, a seventeen-year-old Duffy drove home along a winding road, he saw a strange light thrown against the tree. “I knew it wasn’t the moon”, he said. “I drive this road all the time and I notice little things out of place.”

　　 Duffy stopped his car and got out to examine. Below him far down in the deep valley lay a broken car with its headlights on. Thirty minutes earlier, a man had driven off the edge of the road, which has no guardrail. His car fell and rolled end over end, landing on its top more than two hundred feet below.
