Sitting in an internet Cafe in long street right now and I can tell you the energy is building up towards something very powerful. People have come to the city in their masses, offices have been abandoned and even I who decided to try to dodge this whole drama find myself in the midst of a Country overwhelmed by the emotion of the Boks winning the Rugby World Cup 2007.
I’ve thought about this many times and tried to analyze whether this type of emotional fascination with high profile sporting events is healthy or not and whether it truely has the power to bring about good in Society. One thing is for sure, no-one seems to be bothered with any negativity at this moment. People of all kinds are standing on the streets next to each other cheering, blowing those irritating sports horns and having a fun time together. Work is not something anyone seems to be bothered about at all.
