South African winter

With this year's most anticipated event on our shores, it is important that we highlight a few pointers on having a happy and safe stay in South Africa. There are a couple of factors that you have to take in mind when travelling to South Africa.

It maybe summer in the Northern Hemisphere, however in South Africa we are about to get into our winter months, the world cup will be in winter, so do bring along your winter clothes with. The temperatures are in the range of 16° C (during the day) to 4°C (at night) and peak at 23°C(during the day) -8°C (at night)

For safety reasons it is advisable that you stay in pairs when you go around. most of the venues that will be visited are considered to be safe, however there are a feww pointers you should follow.

• Don’t attract attention to yourself(wearing flashy clothes)
• Keep camera’s and other valuables close to you
• If you are not going on a safari don’t wear safari gear.(it just screams tourist)
• Public drinking is illegal in South Africa and offenders will be arrested

There may be some people out there still wandering if it is safe for them to come to the country or not. If the country was not safe FIFA wouldn't have awarded the Bid to South Africa. There is nothing wrong with fearing the unknown, there will be two options when you make your decision. you can either stay at home *scared* and enjoy the game from the comfort your leaving room. or you can come to the motherland to see the beautiful game, this is a potent combination.

The passion at the stadiums can not be felt on screen, you will have to experience the beautiful people of this country and our preparation for your visit. and remember "Life is for living and not living uptight."

THOBELA

Thobela, a pedi greeting. I haven't visited this site in a while. I am astonished by all the Football fever and excitement around the event plus all the work around the show that I am working with.

Anyway enough about me, the country that you will be visiting in like 30 days or so is looking forward to your visit and all those people who will be on the Conti programme are in for an African experience like no other. we have joojed things up a bit to meet all the international standards while keeping the local flavour.

This is the most anticipated event of 2010 and a marketers dream or nightmare, almost every second ad. has a soccer theme. It's good if your product is related however it's interesting to see the creativity of certain companies that don't gel with the soccer theme.

Oh, and every event or function has a Soccer theme, by now every one in Africa knows about the tournament and is looking forward to greeting you in your language and allowing you to learn something from their language and culture.

I am looking forward to your visit, I have so much I want to show you.
