A South African fan wears a Makarapa hat during an international friendly soccer match between Thailand and South Africa in preparation for the World Cup at Mbombela stadium in Nelspruit May 16, 2010. The king of South Africa's makarapa fan helmet has moved from his township workshop to a factory to meet World Cup demand and expects the elaborate headgear to become a global craze after the tournament. Dancing fans wearing the brightly painted hats made from converted plastic construction helmets, often paired with giant mock glasses, are a trademark of the South African game.
