Dear Fellow South African,

In just under two weeks’ time, Bafana Bafana will participate in the opening match in this year’s FIFA World Cup against Mexico.

They carry with them the best wishes of more than 62 million South Africans who will be cheering them on at every stage of the tournament. Bafana Bafana are taking part in the World Cup for the first time since we hosted the event in 2010.

Dear Fellow South African,

As we mark 30 years this month since the adoption of our country’s constitution, we can reflect with pride on political culture we have built as a nation – a culture that is robust, participatory, continuously evolving and firmly anchored in the democratic values we hold dearly.
