A leopard has been chosen as the 2010 South African World Cup Mascot.
His name – Zakumi.
Zakumi was born June 16, 1994…the year apartheid died! It is also the day Youth Day is celebrated.
ZA is the country’s initials in Afrikaans. Kumi mean 10 for the year of the tournament.
Zakumi also means – “Come here” in southern African languages.
The idea, design and realization all came out of South Africa.
