They were banned from the beijing Olympics and it could be that the Vuvuzela's are an attempt to drown out the tuneless cacophony of the England supporters.

It is simple, turn the sound off if you do not like it. If watching without sound offends you, turn off the match altogether and watch it on teletext.

I must say that i much prefer hearing chanting than the Horns but ive watched every game so far and have gotton used to it now! It is an odd sound but if thats what they like to do then fair enough!
I do feel sorry for the players though, it must be hard to hear the Ref's whistle and instructions from their managers or other players calling to them?

No one has the right to ruin another's enjoyment of the game like that. If folk are insane enough to want to blow those things continuously, and have no social conscience, then they ought to find a padded cell somewhere to play in.
Lord only know what advertising revenue will be lost as folk opt not to watch games not directly associated with their own country, and watch those that are with the mute on.
I've spotted this but don't speak the lingo to know how useful it is :-)

Its how the africans cheer and celebrate. Who are we to take their music away? I for one dont even notice it when I'm concentrating on a game. And when England play the chants in the pub are so loud you cant hear the tv anyway. And as for the players getting distracted well they cant be that good if that happens. I'm sure most are concentrating on the ball.
I’ll admit I was not in favour of banning them at first as it is tradition in SA, however having now watched a few matches I do think they are detrimental to the game and the atmosphere.
It is affecting players, I can think of at least three instances where play has continued after the ref has blown his whistle as players have not heard it. To me this indicates they can not communicate properly on the pitch either which is problem that warrants banning them in my opinion.

Afternoon. I think the issue is dealt with quite nicely here:
