A picture taken on March 4, 2010 shows an employee as he paints the face of a football player onto a hardhat known as 'Makarapas' in Johannesburg. The 'Makarapas', a decorated plastic hard hat due to be settled on supporters' heads, are created by fans who carve shapes into the hats and adorn them with team colours, a process that can take four days to complete. As the world prepares for Africa's first World Cup, interest is growing in the continent, especially since the governing body FIFA ordered 2,000 Makarapas for twelve of the top teams from Wygers' factory in downtown Johannesburg. The Makarapa is, with the vuvuzela trumpet, an important part of the local football matches' festival atmosphere. Makarapas are miner hats modified and decorated in the colors of the team.
