2010 World Cup

Your story

We're looking for the best stories to come out of the 2010 World Cup.
You could be a local or a visitor; you don't have to have attended any of the matches or fanfests, but the story must have some relevance to the World Cup or life in South Africa during the period. Photographs and video clips may be included.
They will be published in our readers' blog – In your own Write. Submit your blog post by clicking here. The three winners will be chosen on September 17, 2010 by CapeInfo and Wine Village in Hermanus, and will receive cases of fine South African wines.
Prizes sponsored by Wine Village, who will despatch the wine to any destination worldwide that allows wine imports.

Off the beaten track

Thohoyandou

The drive from Louis Trichardt in the foothills of the Soutpansberg is one of the most beautiful in South Africa, and Thohoyandou's people among the most outgoing and friendly. Visit it!

That’s a venerable 84 in human years although, in the wild — where wolves are challenged by the elements, illness, starvation and injury — wolves only live an average of 7 years. In a domestic environment, they live up to 15 years. We’ve been together since she was [...]
