It is <strong><em>Zakumi</em></strong>. The bright yellow Leopard, with black spots, curly green hair, green shorts and a white T-shirt was welcomed by Local Organising Committee CEO Danny Jordaan, FIFA Director of Marketing Thierry Weil, as well as other delegates and footballing celebrities.<br /><br />The name Zakumi is broken down into 'Za', standing for South Africa and 'kumi' which translates to the number “ten” in various languages throughout Africa. The original creator of the design is Andries Odendaal from Cape Town, and the mascot costume itself was produced by Cora Simpson of Cora's Costumes cc in Boksburg.<br /><br /><a href="http://fifaworldcup2010highlights.blogspot.com/"><b>Watch 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa Highlights</b></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6682970559260143768-5397995045558911715?l=fifa-world-cup-mascots.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>live-sports24noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682970559260143768.post-32078560624013299572008-09-23T11:45:00.000-07:002010-06-14T02:50:57.846-07:00FIFA introduced the first mascot at the 1966 World Cup in England.
