Cape Town blows world’s largest Vuvuzela

Love it, or hate it – the vuvuzela is here to stay for the next 30 days.

The World Cup spirit has more than arrived in Cape Town.   Last night the city was in chaos, as revelers blew their vuvuzelas, and crowded pubs, as if South Africa had won the World Cup last night!
