Name

Zakomi? I haven't heard of "Zakomi" as an alternative name - is there a reference for this? coda.coza (talk) 19:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth?!?

How come an Official Mascot can be "born"? And is it supposed to die some day? --212.36.9.176 (talk) 23:05, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Zakumi's birth is fictional. They gave him a date of birth because of Youth Day, a South African holiday. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.208.48.160 (talk) 15:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

STUB?

This article is no longer a "STUB". A fair amount of detail has been added. 1Nikhil9 (talk) 16:36, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External Link 404

The external link "FIFA's official webpage on Zakumi" now leads to a 404 error, it should be updated or removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BurrowsAD (talk • contribs) 18:08, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Katakana?

Hey, why in his infobox header (sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology here) below the picture, why is his name in katakana? I can't seem to find a reason why that's the case. PlatypusPlatypi (talk) 03:31, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this didn't make much sense, so I removed it. Egsan Bacon (talk) 00:43, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
