| Lesiba |  | The lesiba is a stringed-wind instrument, with a quill attached to a long string acting as the main source of vibration. The quill is blown across, creating vibration in the string, usually in short notes on a small, limited scale. The lesiba's construction is unique, in that it is the only instrument in use today that is a stringed wind instrument. The lesiba is the national instrument of the Basotho, a southern African people, now located primarily in South Africa and Lesotho. The image shows a close up of the quill portion of a lesiba. | |
| Vuvuzela |  | A vuvuzela is an air horn, approximately one metre in length, made from plastic and commonly seen at soccer matches all over the world. Vuvuzela: A rough translation from Zulu meaning making noise. This soccer horn originally made out of tin, but is now locally manufactured (in South Africa) in plastic. It has largely influenced and shaped South Africa’s soccer and sport culture into the alive, vocal and energetic state that it is in today. |
