‘Juwala’ means 'waste plastic' in Kiswahili. The juwala ball went public in Europe last month when Ban Ki Moon held it up during his keynote address at the opening of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Congress in Copenhagen.
I believe the idea was to remind the Olympic Committee to connect sports with development. And the juwala ball truly is representative for how most football matches are played on the continent.
