Okay, I didn't see it coming, but it has.
South Africa has a new National Animal.

In recent weeks I have been hearing a mournful lonely trumpetting on occasion, and eventually decided some investigation was needed.
I was unable to find anything. It seemed the wailing was from something as elusive as the tooth fairy. Some claim to have seen it, but none can accurately describe it.
As time progressed, the wailing became more regular, and stronger. I was alarmed. It seemed that the numbers of the wailing beasts were increasing, but I had, as yet, not seen one.
My persistence and curiosity have not abated, and I have still not seen the origin of the strange wail. I have however learned, from reliable sources I may add (actually from yottie, the indigent car-guard down at Prestons), that the beast is in fact a Vu Vu Zela.
My source reported to me that the VuVuZela is now approaching its mating season, hence the upsurge in activity. The climax of the pre-mating season will occur in a few days time, in far off SoccaSitti. Those specimens of the VuVuZela that are not able to be at SoccaSitti will be found in taverns, shebeens and pubs, screaming raucously at the Television screens. Strange behaviour one may think, but not quite as strange as the pre-mating season activities of the VuVuZela.
Before the actual mating begins, the VuVuZela will be found, not only in pubs,taverns, and shebeens, but also at football matches, schools, and hanging from the windows of mini bus taxis.
Identification of the VuVuZela is, I believe, fairly straightforward. It is a long plastic-cy looking beast of many varying bright colours. It is semi parasitic, inasmuch it relies on a host for transportation. It is symbiotic, inasmuch it allows the host to experience a state of euphoria, akin to short-windedness whilst experiencing what seems to be the affects of either alcohol or illegal smoking substances.
It is reported that although the VuVuZela on its own is not threatening, the behaviour of the host is definitely questionable.
In closing, my source claims that although the VuVuZela is not as much of a burden as is a case of severe piles, or a severe bloutrein hangover, it is best to avoid contact with this beast, especially if accompanied by a host.
The vuvuzela, or a stadium horn, is a blowing horn, approximately one metre in length, commonly blown by fans at soccer matches in South Africa.
