Answer 1

Let me describe what we get about South Africa in Brazil (I don´t know if it´s true:)

1) you´re a black and white country (almost like us)
2) you have beautiful cities
3) there is a problem with urban violence (like us).
4) You export Marula
5) South Africa is not as hot as Brazil
6) You should have entered in Mercosur
7) You have a lot of natural resources (relating to precious stones).
8) You were victims of the British colonization
9) There is the Republic of Lesoto (creating problems to your country)
10) you suffered with Apartheid
11) I don´t much about your soccer, because I just watch Brazilian games.
12) There is deserts in your country.
13) Like us, social inequallity.

Sorry if I just said bullshits. I really should know more about South Africa.

Answer 2

Many Brazilians don't know that much about South Africa - but with SA hosting the next World Cup, it is coming into focus.

SA soccer? has a way to go to be considered a world power, but potential is there (as demonstrated by other teams from the continent)
The people? Very similar to Brasil, but with perhaps a bit more disharmony still in effect.
Cities? Beautiful cities
2010? Go Brazil - Six Time World Champion!!!

Answer 3

My personal opinion (I´m Brazilian):
1- South African soccer is not strong, but it can gets stronger.
I think it must have more know-how exchange between South Africa´s players/teams and other countries like Brazil, England, Germany, Italy...especially Brazil...we are closer!
2- I feel South African people as brothers since we have a mixed population with strong European and African roots.
3- Wonderful cities...the cities of Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesburg are knowed in Brazil.
4- It will be great...I believe you will receive lots of Brazilians...hope to be one of them!!!

Cheers from Brazil!!!

Answer 4

I love both SA and brazil
