A PROUD MZANSI
Whenever you turn on your television or even your radio, all
you hear about are the 2012 Olympics which are taking place in London. This
event which brings together different countries all over the world by means of
competition, takes place every 4 years. South Africa qualified in different
categories this year. These include the swimming, female soccer, long jump, rowing
and athletics. We already have 3 gold medals and 1 silver, needless to mention
just how proud South Africans are!

Some people might wonder how we know all of these things
about the 2012 Olympics. South African’s are given a chance to get a front row
seat of the event from the comfort of their own home. The South African Broadcasting
Corporation (SABC) and Supersport channels on satellite decoder DSTV; have been
broadcasting the 2012 Olympics since day 1! This gives us the viewers, a chance
to support our country with even more involvement. To top it all off, a daily wrap up of the day’s
events at the 2012 Olympics is broadcast for all those who couldn’t watch the2012
Olympics all day. I honestly think that this is a good Public Relations move to
avoid multiple complaints from viewers during this 2012 Olympic period. No
matter what time it is; everyone gets a chance to root for their country during
these challenging games!
True that and the country is proud of their performance in the London Olimpics...much better performance compared to the last olimpics in 2008.
ReplyDeleteI agree Vongani! This goes to show just how much our country's involvement has grown towards the sports in South Africa

ReplyDeleteKgaugelo it is always nice to discover something new, and I think the olympics has helped a lot of people do that. Itis also a very good thing that we have so many broadcasters to bring us the event and give us a front row feel of the Olympics
Deletewhen i was watching the opening ceremony i felt proud when our team walked into the stadium with caster proudly holding our south african flag. i will be behind our team especially athletics. i hope that for the next olympics (in four years time)we participate in all the sporting codes so we can bring more medals.
ReplyDeleteMotsei I strongly believe that with more support and more training; our sporting teams can do more and participate in more activities at the next olympics
