The FIFA 2010 world cup will be a monumentous occasion for South Africa as it will help develop our countries exposure internationally. It will create either a positive or negative influence of our country. This event will be very tedious to hold in our country if one would consider the current state of South Africa.
Serena Naidoo(20) of Durban who is currently a student at UKZN studying sociology said, “I think our country is in dire straits as it is plagued by crime. If tourist s come to South Africa and become a victim to crime then it will certainly have a negative impact on our image internationally.” This is a very interesting statement
as we all as South Africans would want our country to be
portrayed in a positive manner. In order to create a 
good impression on foreigners we should and must try our best to curb crime. In order for one to do this we would have top work in partnership with the community and justice system. Crime can be a problem for South Africa’s exposure especially in the FIFA 2010 World Cup.
The next issue which needs to be discussed is the job opportunities which will be available to the South African citizens. Firstly there is the obvious reason why job opportunities are going to increase and that’s because of the increased goods and services which are going to be required . There will be a number of certain jobs which will be required which will not be indicative of South Africa because the world cup is something which South Africa has no experience of hosting .
We could also impact the international community during world cup if we are able to create an atmosphere of excitement. We are a unique nation and a very integral part of South Africa is the diverse culture that we share. Kaveer Koobair(19) who is currently studying a for a diploma in Architecture at DUT said, “Our country is very diverse and we should create a memorable opening to the tournament as this is a defining moment in most countries. The defining moment of a countries ability to showcase itself during the World cup has always been during the opening.” Kaveer also commented on the attraction of newly built stadiums. “being an architectural student myself, I am very impressed with the design of the South Afr5ican stadiums and it would also show the power of South Africa. The Durban Moses Mabhida stadium is absolutely mind blowing. The design itself is superb. It will contain a cable car that is transported amongst the overhanging arch which would give an aerial
I interviewed Nagesh Deenanath from Verulam , and we discussed how the 2010 will benefit South Africa’s economy . He had a lot of hope in the world cup and believed that it would be beneficial to our economy. The main issue we discussed was the influx of international income that will be coming in from all he tourists. First place to start with is the use of the airports, and how they are going to bring in a large income. The airports are going to be a key place for the generating of income and it needs to be utilized efficiently and used to our advantage . secondly there is going to income arising from the hotel industry as these people are going to require a temporary place to reside . There are also going to be transportation incomes, whether public or private. Overall it can be seen that the economy is definitely going to benefit from the soccer world cup. More services and goods are going to b required.
Our country has many elements that would showcase our talent internationally. There are many benefits of the world cup and we should use it wisely. If we grasp this opportunity we can be able top increase our countries potential tenfold.We can definitely impact our countries economy, job opportunities and our tourist attractions. We have much work to do and as citizens of South Africa we can be able to help the government in creating a masterpiece of our country and the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.
