David Patrick Lane (DPL): Good afternoon Maxie, from Gugulethu. We’re listening to some jazz and we’re drinking and it’s Sunday afternoon and what do you think about the World Cup and tell me about that.

Maxie: Oh! The World Cup is awesome. We are…it’s going to be in South Africa and as you can see that the vibe is telling that we feel it! We feel it! And it is here!

DPL: Thank you. And that’s all people need to know, right?

Maxie: Yeah! They must come to Gugulethu. And if it’s not in Gugulethu, it’s alright, as long as it’s in South Africa. We are feeling it in South Africa.

DPL: And Bafana Bafana is going to win the World Cup?

Maxie: It’s going to. Bafana is going to……Iyawela i-Bafana (They are crossing over, Bafana)!

DPL: Thank you, Maxie! Thank you!

Maxie: Ok. Pleasure.
