A colorful cacophony

The 19th FIFA Football world cup got off to a start a short while ago in Johannesburg, South Africa. I was very eager to see the opening ceremony and thus sat in-front of the TV expecting a beautiful show. Well, to me it turned out to be a show of non sense. The announcements weren't clear, performers didn't seem to showcase any bit of choreography, all were running around and doing something or the other. Singing… well that’s to me the most standout of all such inaugurations, here there was so much of cacophony no one really would have known as to what the song was. In the middle of all these, i am sure there was a small bit of Nelson Mandela talking something of hope, they should have really placed it with calm and made sure the listeners get the chance to understand what he said

 

To me the theme looked too colored to make it feel that Africa is Black and has no place for the whites !
