South African traditional leaders intend performing ritual animal slaughters in order to bless Soccer Stadiums for the 2010 World Cup tournament scheduled to take place June 2010.
Zolani Mkiva, chairman of the Makhonya Royal Trust, said the tournament has to to be blessed in true "African style" and that they are going to slaughter cows in sacrifice at each of the 10 stadiums to be used for the event.
The traditional sacrifice methods are GROSSLY inhuman! You can view HOW it is done here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaxRE44Erss

South Africa is hosting the 2010 Soccer World Cup in June next year. It is THE most watched sporting event in the world. Now, South African traditional leaders intend performing ritual animal slaughters in order to ?bless? (sic) the country's Soccer Stadiums for the 2010 World Cup tournament scheduled to take place June 2010.
We, the undersigned, emphatically oppose the proposed, barbaric practice of slaughtering animals in the name of 'CULTURE' and request that it be stopped.
We signed the "Stop South Africa from sacrificing animals at Soccer World Cup" petition!

I have already commented on the wall and went into it in quite length detail. But i'd just like to say that i have discussed this with some of the staunch African intellectuals at wits and they even say it is a bad idea to do it. Simply because of the foreign aspect.

You cant force the rest of the country to watch as your culture being displced when we are not followers and object to such practice! If its part of your culture so be it, but we are also citizens of South Africa and our taxes have also been used for the stadium development and i personally, along with millions of others i am sure, object to animal sacrifice in this inhumane manner!

Ritual slaughter of animals has no place at a football tournament, the world cup is about football, not animal cruelty, i will not visit your country and will not watch any of the football, unless there is categoric assurance that the totally unecessary ritual of animal slaughter does not go ahead and my family and friends will also boycott the world cup aswell, we want no part in the senseless cruelty
