I love the vuvusela, but unfortunately I think it is going to be banned. What stands to accelerate it is what may happen this weekend and beyond. People refer to the sound of the swarm of bees as extremely irritating - Well, that may be true, but there is another more sinister reason: People from the West are afraid that these vuvuselas are spell-inducing. They think we are secretly subjecting them to witchcraft. Of course it is not true, but some believe it.
Now, over this weekend, South Africa needs a draw with Spain in order to ensure that we qualify to the next round. And yesterday Egypt beat Italy. If the combination of the motivation from Egypt's win plus 60 000 vuvuselas can spur Bafana Bafana on to beat Spain, what will people say? The Spanish players will moan non-stop about the vuvuselas. Their fans in Europe will suspect foul play of sorts - witchcraft brought on by vuvuselas.
In group B, three teams have virtually the same danger of being eliminated: Egypt, Italy and Brazil. Suppose Egypt make it and we meet and probably beat them in the semis, we'll be the unlikely finalists. Suppose we meet Brazil and win against Brazil, we will win the Confed Cup. No-one will accept that South Africa are actually the Confed Cup champions. People are going to blame the vuvusela and black magic for the win and the cry for the ban will only get louder.
Money talks: As much as Sepp Blatter may hate to do it, if faced with a very real backlash from European fans and pressure from his own lieutenants, he will have no choice but to announce the banning of the vuvuselas.
If Bafana win, vuvuselas are history.
Awesome! 
Westerners aren't the ones that believe in witchcraft .... Africans are
