About this book
The 2010 World Cup, at home with Gogo
The Summer Mzansi Played! brings the 2010 soccer World Cup, the first ever played in Africa, to life through one family. Children colour Gogo painting a flag on a cheek, flags on every car, crazy makarapa hats, the vuvuzela, the Diski Dance, the bus to Soccer City, the first goal on TV and a game of street soccer.
Each page has a short true fact, a colouring task, a find-or-count question and a “Say it in Xitsonga!” word to trace. At the back, an “Ask Gogo!” page gets children talking to their grandparents about 2010, a tracing page practises every word, and a Well Done certificate celebrates the finish.
What your child will practise
- Xitsonga words for colours, family and soccer

Questions
Before you buy
Do I need to speak Xitsonga to use this book?
Not at all. Instructions and fun facts are in simple English, and every Xitsonga word has the English beside it. It’s a gentle start for families learning Xitsonga, and a fun boost for children who already speak it.
Do I need an account to buy?
No. Add the book to your cart, enter the email address where you’d like the download link sent, and pay. That’s it.
How do I get the book?
Straight after payment we email you a download link, usually within a few minutes. The link works for 7 days, so download and save the PDF. If anything goes wrong, email us and we’ll send a fresh link.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print it as often as you like for your family. Print a fresh page whenever your child wants to colour it again.
Do I need a colour printer?
No. The colouring pages are black line art and print well on any printer. The cover and the Well Done certificate look best in colour, but black and white works too.
I paid but didn’t get the email.
Check your spam or promotions folder first. Still nothing after 15 minutes? Email sandile@asifundenathi.co.za with the email address you used, and we’ll sort it out quickly.
