Still many developed nations and some developing, have had the pleasure and pride to have their nationals hoist their flag with all its glory up held high. Upon the triumphant return of Vilane, the first South African, an ecstatic President Thabo Mbeki declared, “Today all Africans stand 8,848m tall. Vilane has made all of us stick our chest out in justifiable pride and wonder” (2003). This time, it will be our own Sirak, with our beloved Green, Yellow and Red on top of the world.
