All this week we’ve been talking about the 2010 FIFA World Cup and also the City of Durban, South Africa. So let’s finish off with a combination of both.
Early on in my adventures in South Africa, I had a chance to visit the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. It was built especially for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

So if you happen to be making your way to South Africa over the next few weeks to see the 2010 FIFA World Cup, don’t leave your host city until visiting the one thing you should see…

So what is it?
The Diski Dance is a specially-crafted choreographed dance about soccer that is spreading across the country of South Africa. It’s intended to get everyone excited about the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The world “Diski” itself, refers to the soccer ball. The dance moves are inspired by soccer kicks and chest bumps with some South African flair.
