Vuvuzela Debate

Jun 18, 2010

It’s plastic, brightly colored, sounds like an elephant, and has been annoying and delighting football fans in equal measure. We are of course talking about the vuvuzela, the blowing horn that is providing a constant soundtrack to the matches at the ongoing World Cup in South Africa.

But now, world football’s governing body FIFA is considering a ban of the traditional South African instrument, following complaints from broadcasters, coaches and even some prominent players about the noise.
