MONDIAL2010 - Freddie Saddam Maake claimed authorship of the odious trumpet ...
From our special correspondent in Johannesburg
These days, it is the most hated man in the world, but perhaps the most unlucky. While hundreds of thousands of daily vuvuzela sell like hotcakes in South Africa and around the world , Freddie Saddam Maake swear to high heaven that he is the inventor of the object so discredited . It would have tampered with a car horn in the mid 70s (photo required) and have improved his weapon of mass destruction in the eardrum. Except he never thought to file a patent , and that the benefits do not go into his pocket . Or almost none.
" For 1000 rand , we can come to an agreement "
Today, he lives in Tembisa, A township of one million inhabitants, an hour north of Johannesburg , where where North Korea is training. And if it is not a millionaire, he expects to catch up . We got his phone number , and tried to arrange an appointment. "Come to me , I 'll tell you the whole story , " he promised . Except that is not free. " We can reach agreement for 1000 rand ( 100 euros ), "said the old man of 55 years . And yes, he has missed the train to the capital , Saddam Maake Freddie still hopes to hop onto . He has even developed a real business , as journalists , assembled from around the world (Brazil , Poland and Belgium on Thursday, France on Friday ) , all agreed to put the butter in the spinach that bear Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs.
A margin of 4.40 euros
Trifles , anyway , compared to that daily picks Neil Van Schalkwyk a contractor that Cape Express . en met. Sensing the trend coming , he patented the vuvuzela plastic. Cost of manufacture? Only 60 cents . Average selling price for all the red lights of Johannesburg? Five euros. Unable to make the accounts now. But when you see the tide vuvuzela who invested this world , it is likely that Van Schalkwyk will pay a little more in taxes than Freddie Saddam Maake .

MONDIAL2010 - Freddie Saddam Maake revendique la paternité de l'odieuse trompette...
De notre envoyé spécial à Johannesburg,
Ces temps-ci, c’est l’homme le plus détesté du monde, mais peut-être aussi le plus malchanceux. Alors que des centaines de milliers de vuvuzelas se vendent chaque jour comme des petits pains, en Afrique du Sud et partout dans le monde, Freddie Saddam Maake jure ses grands dieux que c’est lui l’inventeur de cet objet si décrié. Il aurait trafiqué un klaxon de voiture au milieu des années 70 (photo à l’appui), puis aurait perfectionné son arme de destruction massive des tympans.
The vuvuzela can she go deaf ?

Ao-bōzu ~ 青坊主 (あおぼうず) ~ part of The Obakemono Project: An Online Encylopedia of Yōkai and Bakemono
other names: Me-hitotsu-bō
When the wheat is green, the green monk is said to emerge from the verdant fields,
and children who dally on their way home will be carried off by this monstrous bonze.
Sekien Toriyama drew the ao-bōzu as an oddly-proportioned cyclops, which may have been inspired
by other tales of one-eyed demons in priestly vestments, of which there are many.1

Yama-uba ~ 山姥 （やまうば） ~ part of The Obakemono Project: An Online Encylopedia of Yōkai and Bakemono
other names: Yamanba 山姥 （やまんば）
A female figure, sometimes considered a type of monster, thought to inhabit mountainous regions. She takes a variety of forms in art and folklore, both benevolent and malicious, and is closely related to some concepts of the Yama no Kami (the deity of the mountains).As a monster, the yama-uba is a notorious cannibal, her fierce countenance resembling an oni with piercing eyes and a mouth split to her ears. Her more tender form is best known from the tale of Kintarō, where she serves as mother and caretaker to the superhuman child. 1
Although she is not referred to as a yama-uba, the fierce oni woman of the mountains makes one of her earliest appearances in volume 27 of the Konjaku Monogatari Shū of the Heian Period. This seemingly-kind old woman provides shelter for a young woman who has stolen into the mountains to give birth, but secretly she is a demon who plans to eat both mother and newborn. The would-be victims sneak away while the hag is asleep. 2,3
The monstrous yama-uba is today best known from such popular folktales as Ushikata Yama-uba (The Ox-Driver and the Mountain Hag) and Meshi Kuwanu Nyōbō (The Wife Who Didn't Eat). In the first tale, a yama-uba harasses an ox-driver who is carrying a load of mackerel through a mountain pass, devouring all his fish, his ox, and eventually pursuing the man himself in order to sate her hunger. The ox-driver manages to outsmart the yama-uba by hiding in the rafters of her hut and pouring boiling water over her as she sleeps. 4 In the second story, a man wishes selfishly for a wife who does not eat, and soon finds himself mysteriously wed to such a woman. Although the new bride takes no meals while her husband is home, the food supply mysteriously diminishes. The man spies on his wife and sees her untying her hair so that she can stuff a mouth on the back of her head with riceballs (much like the Futakuchi-onna of the Ehon Hyaku Monogatari), and thus he knows she is a yama-haha. Feigning ignorance, he asks her to leave, but she tricks him and carries him into the mountains inside of a large tub. He manages to escape by hiding in a thicket of iris and mugwort, which blind the yama-haha with their sharp leaves and stems. 5
A more positive yama-uba begins to take shape in the Noh play Yamanba. This Noh is believed to be the work of Zeami (1363-1443), an author who considered the human aspect of demons to be essential in their literary depiction, and he writes his mountain hag as a complex embodiment of Buddhist principles rather than a simple fiend of the wilderness. In this play a dancer well-known for her yama-uba-themed performances travels into the mountains and meets the subject of her art. The mountain hag darkens the sky to force the dancer to stay with her for the night, but she only wishes to see a performance and has none of the cannibalistic intentions seen in previous works, and even expresses shame at an old yama-uba story of that nature. The hag expounds on her own nature as neither wholly good nor wholly evil, consistent with the Buddhist notion of non-dualism as seen in the Heart Sutra. 6
In the early Edo Period, the yama-uba came to be seen as the mother of Kintarō, the "golden boy" who grew up to be Sakata no Kintoki, one of Minamoto no Raikō's faithful retainers. 7 The oldest appearance of the yama-uba in this role is in the Kinpira Tanjōki 公平たんじょうき (1661), in which Kintoki's supernatural derivation is used to explain the demon-like strength of his son Kinpira, who himself has a serpent in woman's form for a mother. 8 In Kiyohara no Udaishō 清原右大将 (1677), the yama-uba again appears with a Buddhist nature; she surrenders Kintarō to Raikō as she is seeking release from the cycle of rebirth and can no longer be a mother. Later she appears to Kinpira as an oni woman, ten feet tall and imbued with great supernatural power, and tells him she is watching over him and granting him his great strength. 9 In the Zen Taiheiki 前太平記 (c. 1692), the yama-uba is an old woman who explains to Raikō that many years ago she was sleeping atop Mt. Ashigara, when she dreamt that she was making love with a red dragon. Suddenly a clap of thunder jolted her awake, and she found herself miraculously pregnant with Kintarō.10
Perhaps the most influential version of yama-uba as mother is in the Kabuki play Komochi Yama-uba 嫗山姥, by Chikamatsu Monzaemon 近松門左衛門. In this updated version of the Minamoto no Raikō tales, the yama-uba is young and attractive, a former courtesan named Yaegiri. Her husband has committed suicide in shame, but as he dies sends her to the mountains to live as a superhuman being, who will give birth to a great child to fight alongside Raikō. Raikō adopts Kintarō and in the end they conquer a group of demons threatening the capital.11
The alluring image of the Kabuki yama-uba, coddling her child Kintarō, became a popular subject for ukiyo-e prints, especially with the artist Utamaro. Utamaro's image partially displaced the old image of the yama-uba as demon hag, including that portrayed by his teacher Toriyama Sekien. 12
More recently the humane or auspicious yama-uba is seen in the local folklore of various regions, wherein she often helps people with their domestic and agricultural work. In Toyoshina, Nagano Prefecture, she was thought to come to the year's-end market on the 19th and 20th of December. Here she would buy sake using a 3 gō (~.5 liter) gourd which could miraculously hold 5 shō (~9 liters). Her presence would cause the market value to rise, and her leaving would cause it to drop. In the Nishiiyayama area of Tokushima Prefecture, she was known for asking people to carry her on their backs, but also for lending assistance with farming and laundry. In Kōchi Prefecture she was thought to haunt fields and bring about an abundant harvest, but to cause poor harvest and poverty if driven out by those who feared her.
In part of Kyoto, however, it is the yama-no-kami who spreads the seeds of crops and brings about a good harvest, while the yama-uba only spitefully spreads the seeds of thornbushes. 14
The yama-uba's connection to the mountain deity may be traced back to China, where the Ming Dynasty encyclopedia Běncǎo Gāngmù describes a creature which lives in Lingnan 嶺南 (an area stretching from the southern part of China to Vietnam), which has one leg, a backwards heel, and three fingers on each limb. The female is called shān gū 山姑 and the male shān zhàng 山丈. These are other names for the shān xiāo 山魈, a one-legged mountain demon from Southern China. The Ming Dynasty names for this being can be seen today in Kōchi Prefecture in Japan, as alternate ways of writing the names of the yama-uba and her male counterpart, the yama-jijii. When this is taken with the fact that in older legends, the yama-uba was often described as one-legged, and that the mountain deity of Japanese folk religion is frequently conceived of as a woman, the relationship between the yama-no-kami, the mountain hag, and the shān xiāo becomes obvious. 14
The yama-uba may have a human background, however, in addition to an exotic demon's pedigree. In the Muromachi-period otogizōshi story, Hanayo no Hime 花世の姫, the yama-uba is simply an old woman who was driven into the mountains by her grandchildren, and Yanagita Kunio observed that yama-uba and yama-hime were euphemisms used by villagers for strange women living in the mountain wilderness. 15 Belief in the yama-uba's existence may further be tied to ubasuteyama, the custom of abandoning elderly relatives in some remote place during times of hardship, and the hope (or fear) that some lost grandmother might survive and be transformed by a life in the kami's world. 1

The vuvuzela can she go deaf ?
Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Since the beginning of the World Cup 2010 June 9 last, the " vuvuzela " ( pronounced vou -vou -ze -la ) , the horn used by the South African fans , is the nightmare of all players , commentators , journalists, spectators and viewers. In fact, the players no longer get them, or even the referee or the recommendations of their coaches. Even supporters of the songs are completely stifled by the loud and continuous humming . From there to explain the lack of commitment and good football so far , there is only one step it seems still difficult to cross.
As against their indiscriminate use can it affect our hearing? This is the question that the institute " Hear The World " , the company specializes in Phonak hearing aids, has tried to answer .
By testing the volume of a vuvuzela in a room soundproofed , the institute has shown that the volume reached totaled $ 123.4 decibels . It is more than a pneumatic drill to within 5 meters of the ears (120 decibels) or a concert hall where the regulations require not exceed 105 db!
Phonak recalls that " prolonged exposure to noise of 85 dB can cause hearing loss . Worse, more than 100 db, the hearing damage can occur in just 15 minutes. Thus , exposure to such a volume for an entire football game becomes very risky.
The risk for hearing raised by the use of vuvuzela already shaken the organization and Fifa for several months. However loud the trumpet is a tradition in South Africa , is steeped in the heart of a nation. Rather than an outright ban , the organization has decided to distribute free earplugs at the entrance of the stadium (even if they are now almost unobtainable in the country) and for the development of vuvuzela " light " at any volume .
You imagine the worst supporters FIFA ban the use of this instrument , which might cause an outcry , so that the body is already challenged to manage its financial impact of the event . This is all that Vuvuzela had already sounded at the 2009 Confederations Cup in South Africa , without being seen , so banning them ... :

Sauf qu’il n’a jamais pensé à déposer un brevet, et que les bénéfices ne vont pas dans sa poche. Ou presque pas.
«Pour 1000 rands, on peut tomber d’accord»
Aujourd’hui, il habite à Tembisa,
Tembisa is a large township situated to the north of Kempton Park on the East Rand, Gauteng, South Africa. It was established in 1957 when Africans were resettled from Alexandra and other areas in Edenvale, Kempton Park, Midrand and Germiston. Tembisa is also the largest city in South Africa whos name is not of Afrikaans or English origin.
Etymology [edit]
The name Temisa comes from the Zulu word "Thembisa" meaning "There is Hope". It came about when black settlers of Johannesburg were being evicted. When the township was created it was a beacon of hope for those who were suddenly homeless.
History [edit]
The township was founded in 1957. After the Afrikaner-dominated National Party gained power in 1948 and began to implement apartheid, the pace of forced removals and the creation of townships outside legally-designated white areas. The Johannesburg council established new townships for black Africans evicted from the city's freehold areas.
In 1956 townships were laid out for particular ethnic groups as part of the state's strategy to sift black Africans into groupings that would later form the building blocks of the so-called "independent homelands.
un township d’un million d’habitants, à une heure au nord de Johannesburg, là où s'entraine la Corée du Nord. Et s’il n’est pas millionnaire, il compte bien se rattraper. On a récupéré son numéro de téléphone, et tenté de convenir d’un rendez-vous. «Venez chez moi, je vous raconterai toute l’histoire», a-t-il promis. Sauf que ce n’est pas gratuit. «On peut tomber d’accord pour 1000 rands (100 euros)», explique le bonhomme de 55 ans. Et oui: s’il a loupé le train de la fortune, Freddie Saddam Maake espère toujours monter en marche. Il a même développé un vrai business, puisque les journalistes, accourus de toute la planète (Brésil, Pologne et Belgique jeudi, France vendredi), sont tous d’accord pour mettre du beurre dans les épinards de ce supporter des Bafana Bafana et des Kaizer Chiefs.
Une marge de 4,40 euros
Des broutilles, tout de même, comparé à ce que ramasse chaque jour Neil Van Schalkwyk, un entrepreneur du Cap que L’Express.fr a rencontré. Sentant venir la tendance, il a breveté les vuvuzelas en plastique. Coût de fabrication? Seulement 60 centimes d’euros. Prix de vente moyen à tous les feux rouges de Johannesburg? Cinq euros. Impossible de faire les comptes maintenant. Mais quand on voit la marée de vuvuzelas qui a investi ce mondial, il est fort probable que Van Schalkwyk paiera un peu plus d’impôts que Freddie Saddam Maake.
The vuvuzela , an object and non-traditional marketing
On behalf of South African folklore , it buzzes in our ears for four days. The worst thing is that this practice has little history . It seems to be the invention of a man , then recovered by an opportunistic company .
Francois - Xavier Fauvelle - Aymar 'm a specialist recognized the history of South Africa , on vuvuzelaIt dries. " I do not know where does this stuff. It seems to be an instrument rather recent . What is certain is that there is not , in the tradition of South African wind instruments . " And the director of research at CNRS advise us to turn to a " ethnomusicologist " to get a response. It's done a few minutes later. The ethnomusicologist contacted , not much more aware , we refer to him as to Wikipedia page the vuvuzela . The instrument is known experts in South Africa.
Encyclopedia informs us that the collective object was popularized in the stadiums during the 90s . According to some South African sitesIt would be the descendant of kudu horn ( a species of antelope) , in which an ingenious instrumentalists Africans have had the idea of breathe. So much for the historical origins , as some try to perpetuate the kuduzela. There are even Orchestras.
The invention of vuvuzela stadium itself is claimed by a supporter of South Africa 53 years, Freddie " Saddam Maake , the New Zealand newspaper Mail & Guardian found .
The man claims to have conceived the instrument in the mid 60s , from an old bicycle frame made of aluminum. He has several pictures of him blowing the pipe inside the stadiums, in the 70s and 80s. It is so - heyday - the only one to use the device . The object is so unusual that the South African authorities on banish forums . It must be said that Saddam has sometimes a bad habit of using it to strike the opponent's supporters.
By 1989 , after the ban , he met an industrialist , who helps make a vuvuzela plastic . Sniffing the right shot , Saddam is his invention of marketers and out a compilation of 10 songs , Vuvuzela Cellular ( not listed on Deezer) built around the awful trumpet . The instrument became popular . And stirs desire. Saddam accuses Neil van Schalkwyk, leader of the company Masincedane Sport, based in Cape Town , have piqued the idea and the business recovered in 2001 and filed the mark vuvuzela 2004. What it defends itself , arguing that no agreement providing royalties Saddam has been signed. In any case, the box prosperous . It provides a turnover of 2 million euros during the World Cup alone . And promised to market a less noisy in the coming days.
Meanwhile , to feed his nine children , Saddam , according to Mail & Guardian, sells CDs in the stands during matches .

Vuvuzela:Then there is a guy named Freddie "Saddam" Maake...
Vuvuzela
Long Live the Horn Despite European Scorn
CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- According to history, the first Europeans invaded southern Africa in 1488 at a place now called Mossel Bay a good drive east of the World Cup venue here named Green Point Stadium. They eventually imposed all manner of their way of living, particularly pernicious, on the indigenous people who forever called this land home. The most recent invasion of Europeans began earlier this months when tens of thousands of fans of the 13 European countries that qualified for the first holding of this quadrennial global soccer championship in Africa started pouring in. And many of them are not much removed from the thinking of their ancestors. To be sure, some of them carped in recent days about the deafening drone of what has become the iconic symbol of Africa's first World Cup -- a meter-long plastic horn called the vuvuzela.Share
They complained to World Cup governors that the vuvuzelas are too loud and, most annoying of all, disrespectful. How's that? They drown out the European soccer custom of singing songs, created often out of popular tunes, just for the teams Europeans follow. Their complaining got so robust the past few days, and was joined by a few players and coaches who said they couldn't hear their play calls, that the organizers of this World Cup felt compelled to respond. It was a good thing to hear on Monday, however, from World Cup boss Sepp Blatter, a Swiss native, that his fellow Europeans complaints fell on deaf ears. "I don't see banning the music traditions of fans in their own country," Blatter said. "Would you want to see a ban on the fan traditions in your country?" This may be the World Cup, but it is Africa's World Cup just like over half of the previous 18 were Europe's. Taking away the vuvuzela would be nothing short of another page of cultural imperialism exercised by Europe on Africa.
National Columnist Kevin Blackistone is on the scene in the home of World Cup 2010.
-- Read More After all, the vuvu, as some have shortened the popular name to now, isn't just African. It isn't just South African. It is black South African. It is to black South African soccer what the black college marching band is to college football. It just happened to get appropriated, implemented and soon exported world over by this tournament. Black South Africans aren't the first or only soccer fans to blow a horn. Fans of Mexico soccer testified recently that they were blowing horns in the '70s, a tin one. But the appeal of the vuvuzela is it is plastic, cheap and easily mass produced. The origin of the vuvuzela is disputed. A company called Boogieblast, one of several making some of an estimated $20 million off sales of patented and knockoff vuvus, states on its website: "The vuvuzela was introduced to South Africa as a toy for kids to blow, and hardly got off the ground. Selling the vuvuzela proved almost impossible, until the full potential was realized by the local soccer supporters ...The first prototype was from America and changed somewhat for more comfortable blowing and effectiveness. The word vuvuzela was first used by a few soccer supporters. There are many claims to what the word really means, but more generally it means to pump up ones performance in a truly South African manner." The folklore, which carries more credibility in Africa than a corporate statement, is that the vuvuzela was born in the townships, the sprawling apartheid-government mandated black ghettos like the most-famous one, Soweto, that rests in the shadow of Soccer City, this World Cup's crown jewel stadium on Johannesburg's edge. A native of Cape Town told me he first heard them at soccer games in the townships. Soccer is the sport of choice of black South Africans while the minority population prefers rugby and cricket. A fellow who has befriended me as my unofficial tour guide took me past a fellow's house in Soweto where he said the first vuvuzelas were made.
Then there is a guy named Freddie "Saddam" Maake, who is the best know fan of the Kaizer Chiefs soccer team, who has shown various publications pictures of himself in the '70s and '80s at Chiefs games holding an aluminum horn made from an improvised bicycle horn that he says was the first vuvuzela. Maake, who is from another Johannesburg-area township called Tembisa, claimed he carried his horn to international contests in the '90s, including the '98 World Cup in France, but got the boot with it by security officers who said his metal vuvuzela was a dangerous weapon. Maake said he took his idea to a plastics manufacturer and, "vwala!" But as part of the history that has pained this country, Maake told South Africa's Mail & Guardian newspaper last week that he's been ripped off. "This is my invention and it saddens me that other people are benefiting from all the suffering I have endured in popularizing the vuvuzela," the Mail & Guardian quoted him. Maake was most upset with a face that made the rounds on the airwaves here Monday afternoon as word of FIFA's vuvuzela ruling rolled out -- Neil van Schalkwyk. Van Schalkwyk co-owns Masincedane Sport in Cape Town and makes vuvuzelas by the bushel "He is making a killing out of my hard work while I starve," Maake said. "Journalists from as far as England and Mexico have visited me here and say that I should be rich, but look at me." The fellow I met in Cape Town told me the shame of it is that neither Maake nor any other alleged inventor of the vuvuzela in a black township ever patented the horn. Who, after all, would have foreseen its commercial explosion at a South African-hosted World Cup? Nonetheless, there is no disputing that vuvuzelas are "ingrained in the history of South Africa," as South Africa World Cup organizing committee spokesman Rich Mkhondo pointed out Monday. "Let us not make this a South Africa instrument alone," he said. "A vuvuzela is now an international instrument. People buy them and stuff them in their suitcase to go home." The whining Europeans included.
