[Abey Mokgwatsane] I want to tell you about an experience I had post our production of the Confederations Cup opening and closing ceremonies last year. Approximately 800 kids from eight Gauteng schools volunteered their time to perform at the ceremonies, and to thank them for being such an important part of our history, we went on a ‘thank you’ road-trip visiting the pupils at each of their schools.
[Abey Mokgwatsane] It’s hard to believe that something that has kept the entire nation and the world so enthralled for the past six years is over. Two months after the final whistle of the World Cup has blown South Africa and Africa can look back with pride at what has been achieved.
