FIFA World Cup 2010: Building a legacy for Africa

Very interesting World Economic Forum on Africa 2009 session on the FIFA World Cup 2010 which kicks off in exactly one year from now. Watch it on http://www.weforum.org/africa2009/webcasts. Here's the line up of panellists:

Abedi Pele Ayew, Head Coach and President, Nania Football Club, Ghana; Jane Carter, Director, Coaching for Hope, United Kingdom; Michael Jordaan, CEO, First National Bank of Southern Africa, South Africa; Daniel Alexander Jordaan, CEO, 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee, South Africa; Kgalema Petrus Motlanthe, Deputy President of South Africa; Helen Zille, Premier of the Western Cape Province, South Africa.

Jacob Zuma kicked off the countdown to the World Cup 2010 on a tour of Green Point Stadium in Cape Town exactly 365 days before the kick-off.

Also join the Davos Debates in Africa and answer the question leaders at the World Economic Forum on Africa 2009 are answering: Will the whole of Africa benefit from the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa?

Pessimist must be digging their heads in the sand now, Africa has made history even b4 the world cup, the milestones achieved through our own African competent leaders sends a clear message. Africans must never again be made to justify their abilities and competencies.

The Vuvuzela is an annoying plastic trumpet that is constantly blown at all soccer/football matches in South Africa. It sounds like a deafening mix of angry elephants trumpeting, a swarm of buzzing bees and a fog horn. What can we do? Go to http://www.banvuvuzela.com/ and Vote!!! Tell your friends and family to do so too. It is our intention to submit these votes to the relevant authorities who can do something about it. Together we can make our 2010 World Cup the best experience for all.
