The Adventures of Zakumi

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Zakumi is The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Mascot. The name ‘Zakumi’ is a composition of ‘ZA’ standing for South Africa and ‘kumi’, which translates into ‘10′ in various languages across Africa. Zakumi has his own comic strip created by Stephen Francis and Rico, the creative minds behind the successful “Madam and Eve” comic strip in South Africa. Zakumi comics tell about his adventures. Zakumi realised he had to leave the reserve to fulfill his destiny, and he has therefore set off on a huge adventure through Africa. On this journey he will learn lots about places, customs and traditions of the continent, as well as showing off his remarkable football skills. We in Petshopbox Studio think that Zakumi is the best mascot of World Cup so far. Follow Zakumi’s adventures on FIFA official website
