Supporters made the horns out of discarded tin cans, and the use spread wildly, to the joy of many and the irritation of some: South African writer Jon Qwelane wrote in 2007 that “Nowadays, there is an instrument from hell, called the vuvuzela, which has largely formed my decision to abandon all live games and rather watch on TV, with the sound totally muted.” 
Mashabiki walitengeneza pembe kutokana na makopo yaliyotupwa, kwa furaha ya wengi na kero kwa wengine: Mwandishi wa Afrika Kusini Jon Qwelane aliandika mwaka 2007 kwamba “Siku hizi, kuna kifaa kilichotokea kuzimu, kinachoitwa vuvuzela, ambacho kimepelekea uamuzi wangu wa kuacha kuhudhuria mechi na badala yake kuzianngalia kwenye televisheni, huku sauti ikiwa imeminywa kabisa.”
