South Africa, Australia compete for more than just rugby

Springbok captain, John Smit and New7Wonders campaign manager, Fiona Furey

Besides the joy of getting one over Australia, if Table Mountain is named one of the New7Wonders, it would also provide an increase in tourism. Tourism hospitality and leisure research company, Grant Thornton, calculated this would generate an additional R1.4 billion in revenue for the year and support about 11 000 employment opportunities in South Africa.
