Richard Westby-Nunn sent me a photo of a gift he'd received in time for attending a
COCAN 2010 match live at Luanda Stadium, Angola, this week.
You have to have a vuvuzela if you're going to any live soccer matches in Africa - and you can get any kind of vuvuzela...
A cheap, cheerful, Chinese-made (but not very eco-friendly) plastic one sold at traffic lights around South Africa in the lead-up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup later this year:

Or go green with a hand-painted, bio-degradeable kelp vuvuzela:

I have to admit I really like Richard's one though - it telescopes down into a beer mug! Multi-tasking at its best in my opinion. And unlike the kelp ones, these don't turn mushy and smelly when coming in contact with liquid.

Richard Westby-Nunn is a South African living and working in Angola. Read more about his experience at the COCAN 2010 match between Angola and Algeria on his blog.
Which reminds me - I need to get my own hands on a vuvuzela before this weekend's Cape Town Stadium Soccer Festival - the first ever event to be held at our shiny new stadium in Greenpoint!
