I think, at least, South Africa deserves a chance. Let’s see what they can do these next four years and show them our support! All this negativity that is going round at the moment is surely not going to help this country. All it takes is a little faith and participation from each and every South African citizen. I for one, can’t wait for 2010. This event will be good for the economy as it is bound to bring in billions of rands into our country.
People have to remember that SA is still a third-world country, still trying to rebuild itself after years of apartheid. So of course, this preparation won’t be an easy task, there will surely be setbacks and obstacles. And you can’t now go and compare South Africa with a country like Germany now, can you?
It’s very easy to criticize, and it usually comes from people who don’t really know what they are talking about. Plans have already begun for the building of new stadiums and renovations of the old ones. I think this will turn out to be one of the greatest events South Africa has ever hosted, after all the soccer World Cup is the most exciting event in the world! As for Bafana Bafana, actually performing well…ha ha, well, I’d rather not comment!
The 2010 logo was recently unveiled, showing a man kicking a ball, with Africa in the background. It reminds me of the SABC logo, I wonder if it was the same person that designed both! It is definitely very African. I didn’t like it at first, but it’s starting to grow on me. Let’s hope this puts South Africa on the map, for once and for all (and show those Americans that we don’t ride on elephants to work, we ride on lions for goodness’ sakes!).
