The ‘vuvuzela’ is the long plastic trumpet which can be heard blaring by the thousands during World Cup games.
Turns out that the Shembe Church from Africa claim that rights to the vuvuzela belong to them and they were threatening legal action to stop the trumpets being played during the tournament.
From an online report:
“Football is stealing pleasure from Shembe,” an elderly follower tells the BBC.
“When people are playing football and hearing the vuvuzela, they are getting the power of our Holy Spirit,” he says.
Socceroos supporters might question that claim.
Apparently action is still pending.
Perhaps the broadcasters of the event might join with the Shembe in a class action.
