Fans say ‘great to hear a vuvuzela again.. said no one ever’ as amazing footage of PDC Africa darts qualifier goes viral
THE vuvuzela has made a shock comeback in viral celebrations at a PDC Africa event.
There were wild scenes in Kenya yesterday as the best players from the continent tried to qualify for this year’s World Championship at Ally Pally.
With just one spot up for grabs, the atmosphere in Nairobi was incredible.
And a clip of the semi-final clash between Patrick Ocheng and Peter Wachirui has now been seen over one million times.
As home favourite Wachirui hit a double 16 to checkout, the crowd erupted with people jumping for joy and one man hilariously lifted up a 180 sign.
Even the infamously noisy vuvuzela, best remembered from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, was back as a supporter in the front row blew into it.
One fan reacted: “Great to see/hear a vuvuzela again after all these years, said no one ever.”
Another added: “This is absolutely bonkers but I can’t stop watching.”
A third commented: “Everything in this is incredible.”
Wachirui eventually won 7-5 and danced at the oche with fans before he was mobbed by friends who gatecrashed the stage.

He went into the final to face Cameron Carolissen with the atmosphere even more electric inside the tiny venue.
The match went down to a thrilling deciding leg, with the South African clinching victory 8-7.

It will be his second appearance at Ally Pally after featuring in the 2021 event.
This year’s tournament runs from December 15 to January 3.
