Vuvuzelas set to make their presence felt during CWG

By PTI

New Delhi: After becoming a rage during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Vuvuzelas are now set to make their presence felt in the Delhi Commonwealth Games. "We are going to make a lot of noise. We are going to have lots of fun," Harris Mbulelo Majeke, High Commissioner to South Africa, said here.




"We are going to blast the stadiums with vuvuzela," Majeke said. Majeke, who visited the Games Village along with Organising Committee (OC) chairman Suresh Kalmadi to check facilities there, was in high mood as he blew the musical instrument in the sprawling dinning area.
As they are part of the official merchandise, the vuvuzelas, priced at Rs 250, will be available at Games Village. Despite facing stiff criticism from players, the loud and raucous sound of vuvuzelas filled each and every stadium in South Africa during the football World Cup. Vuvuzela was used to summon distant villagers to attend community gatherings in South Africa in ancient times.
