2010 FIFA WORLD CUP IN SOUTH AFRICA















We were all sad and hurt in 2004 when we lose to host the 2006 FIFA World Cup to Germany at the same time we said maybe it’s a blessings in disguise.

In 15 May 2004, we were all happy and exited when the president of FIFA Joseph Sepp Blatter announced that the “2010 FIFA WORLD CUP will be organised in South Africa”.

All South African Citizens hopes of job opportunities were raised. In 2005 stadiums, airports, roads and hotels were built from scratch and others were just renovated only. Entrepreneurs who own B&B’s registered their B&B’s.

As we all know other countries were not happy about our glory they were saying all negative things about South Africa and our soccer national team Bafana-Bafana, talking about Bafana-Bafana they are out of the country they are in Germany for the preparations of the World Cup and they are going to make us proud during the Kick-Off on the 11-June-2010 against Mexico with the support from their dedicated technical team Carlos Alberto Pereira and Pitso “Jilimgisi” Mosimane. 32 Countries 64Games 18 SABC Radios and 3 SABC TV Channels, SOUTH AFRICA “KENAKO” Feel it It is here.

NDAKANA AFRICAN FRAMERS











Today I visited Ndakana Africa Framers CC in GUGA' STHEBE Langa Township. They are making photo frames using wood, framed watches, animals like Elephants, Giraffes and Zebras they are using a wooden table to display their products.

I interviewed the founder of Ndakana African Framers its a Private Sector founded by MUNUZA JEKEMBA in 2003 without funds from outside sponsors.

Their weakness is training people with the profit they are making from their products which isnt much, and
their strenghtes comes from working hard and by making sure that they market their products to the Tourists.

Their challenge is the lack of sales and exposure, now we are trying to market their products national and international.

You can contact them.
