Latest 1GOAL vidblogs from South Africa

Monday 19 July 2010

It’s only a week since the World Cup ended, though it seems longer since the vuvuzelas fell silent and the world became a little more ordinary again.  One of the upsides of coming home is that I was finally able to upload my last few vidblogs for the 1GOAL campaign. 

On Tuesday 6 July I got changed into my suit at a petrol station near the airport and headed straight into meetings with President Zuma’s office.  Tuesday 6 July

On Thursday I got the chance to go to Winnie Ngwekazi Primary School in Soweto and had a kickabout with Shaka Hislop, John Barnes and a group of 9-year-olds (this is work, honest). Thursday 8 July

On Sunday we finally got to the big education summit… here’s how it went: Final Day 

And if you want to see all of 12-year-old Nthabiseng Tshabalala’s challenge to world leaders at the summit, here it is: Nthabiseng’s speech

The campaign goes on, with lots to do before the UN Millennium Development Goals summit in September.  Keep up to date here.
