For the first time this past week Capetonians saw the Cape Town Stadium in its lit-up glory, while the lighting checks were being done. With such a magnificent photograph, taken from the V&A Waterfront looking on to the Stadium, there surely cannot be a single Cape Town sceptic left, who cannot see the benefit of the 2010 World Cup for Cape Town?!
The roadworks on the N1 and N2 are painful, but driving in and out of Cape Town is a lot easier than it has been during the road construction over the past few months. Ultimately our roads will be fantastic once June/July 2010 arrives!
The World Cup 2010 is a unique event that will be to the benefit of all – for Capetonians and our soccer fan tourists.
