I recently posted a photo of DA students protesting outside parliament. In that photo, one sees blue plastic trumpets -- called vuvuzelas. Their sound has been described as that of a swarm of wasps. Vuvuzelas were originally "borrowed" from the Shembe Church, by soccer fans. A Shembe elder complained at the time: "Football is stealing pleasure from Shembe ... they are getting the power of our Holy Spirit." Now the trumpets have passed from soccer stadiums to political protests. OBSERVATION: The Church's influence is found in many interesting places. I recently blogged about the Church initiating a state capture investigation in South Africa.
