Johannesburg - South Africa's Masakhane Primary School in Roodepoort may be proudly South African, but today the Australians will attempt to massacre them.
The school will host the Australian High Commission as part of FIFAs Adopt-a-nation-programme.
The programme encourages South African schools to support one of the 32 nations participating in the Soccer World Cup and to learn about that countrys culture and diversity.
Information and material on Australia will be handed over to pupils and Zakumi, the official mascot for the World Cup, is also expected to make an appearance at the school.
The Australian High Commission will also do its best to convince pupils to throw their support behind the Australian Soccer team, known as the Socceroos.
Four other Roodeport schools received similar visits from the Australian High Commission on yesterday.
Pupils from these schools, including those from Masakhane Primary, will attend the friendly match between Australia and Denmark at the Ruimsig Stadium today.
Australia will be one of only five teams to play friendlies on South African soil before the FIFA World Cup kicks-off .
