Fifa and its flaws...

The positive influence of sport (football) on all aspects of human life – including its benefits for health, socialization, self-confidence , leadership skills, and mutual understanding across divisions of race, culture and gender- means that its importance should never be ignored in any peace building and reconciliation initiatives. The belated recognition of the true value of sport in promoting coexistence has, however, meant that sport development is a relatively new phenomenon in South Africa. Thus, participation of the masses in national and international events such as Fifa 2010 is vital in achieving this goal.

However,looking at Fifa's strategy at excluding South Africans from benefiting from this world event is appalling!! How come such a symbolic event be only accessible to a minority?

South Africa is a country characterized by diversity, Fifa has failed to accommodate the interests of the public...they succumbed to capitalism on the expense of the whole country...

I wonder what the event itself will bring to our beautiful country...I just hope the terrorist threats does not manifest.With our young democracy...we do not want any destruction in our land because of the hatred between the East and West...

I personally am not impressed at all
