MEGA COUNTDOWN TO KICK OFF

LADUUUUMAAAA!!!!!!!

Now that's what we all looking forward to hearing in exactly 99days.In Durban yesterday, school children geared up in their soccer Jerseys and ditched their school uniform and danced the streets in the spirit of soccer! In all other parts of the country, Vuvuzella's were blown, the national anthem was sung as well as flying the South African flag with great pride.

Another initiative to get people ready for the soccer is Football Fridays. On Fridays, does not matter for which company you work for, what your job entitles, you can wear the soccer jersey to work on Fridays with a pair of jeans. Most offices and stores, malls are all in the spirit and have put up the national flag. In our offices we have the different flags of the countries that will be playing in the 2010 FIFA World Cup put up on display everywhere with big stuffed up soccer balls.

South Africa is so ready for the World cup and all 10 Host stadiums, the heavy constructions are almost done just minor touches on the pitch and surrounding grounds.We have spent about R33 billion on into preparations for the tournament. soccer City the host stadium for opening and closing matches should be handed over within the next month.

THE COUNTDOWN IS OFFICIALLY ON!!!!

Until next time...I'm signing off
