Nations get united through sports. I did not understand the hype about us hosting the 2010 soccer world cup until it took place. Everybody was happy, we made friends from the foreign people that came to South Africa and at the end of the day we shared one love, 1Goal.....Soccer. Well id say business contributes when you’re a host country but what really stood out for me was experiencing different cultures and learn new things.
It was too saddening watching the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, I grew to love and enjoy them, and in fact I was addicted. I’d miss my daily programmes just so I can watch the Olympics. Social networks also contributed in sharing the feeling and news about the Olympics. Some sports I didn’t understand but twitter and facebook became my school.

South Africa did not get many medals in the Olympics but we are grateful to the team that went and represented us with a positive spirit. Swimming team was the best and not forgetting our golden girl Caster Semenya who came second in the women final 800m, so in total we had 6 medals.

Our sports minister and his department needs to invest more in grooming this talents because in the next 4 years we want to see south Africa in most of the activities that will be taking place and to triple the number of medals we received this year.
Hoping to have had saved enough so that I can go and experience the love people share during sports gatherings.
