Nelspruit - Chilean soccer supporters at the Nelspruit fan park pledged their support to Bafana Bafana on Wednesday night as they celebrated their team's 1-0 World Cup victory over Honduras.
"I've never experienced any atmosphere like this," said Ignatio Urzua, a native of Chilean capital Santiago.
"Just look at this place, it's amazing."
Urzua was part of a group of Chileans who arrived in South Africa on Monday. He said they had only good things to say about the country.
"We arrived two days ago but already we have seen the Big Five in the Kruger National Park," a beer-sipping Urzua boasted.
"I love this country and tonight I am fully behind Bafana Bafana."
The Nelspruit fan park at Bergvlam High School was abuzz with pumping music and Bafana supporters trying to blow tunes into their vuvuzelas.
The instrument has been much maligned in recent days with many calling for it to be banned.
The Chileans in Nelspruit believe the instrument adds a "wonderful atmosphere".
"We will take some vuvuzelas back to Chile with us," said Thomas Steimach, also a native of Santiago. Having said that, he placed ear plugs in his ears as he blew on his vuvuzela.
"Maybe we can introduce them to Chile."
