Green Point Stadium
Wednesday night I attended the FIFA 2010 Lecture at the Green Point Visitors Centre in Cape Town. I was expecting a tour through the “new Green Point Stadium” but to no avail. All hope was not lost yet as we were situated in the previous presidential section of the “old Green Point Stadium”.
After taking pictures of the new and old stadium, I came to the epiphany that we could actually knock the socks off of all those 1st world countries who doubt us. Not to say that I was one of those who doubted; I have become increasingly irritated with those who think South Africa cannot host the colossal event. The media almost made me believe that we could not do it - the emphasis on almost. After the lecture given by Mr Luyanda Mpahlwa, member of the OC 2010 technical team, I all of a sudden became twenty ten times more enthusiastic about the Confederations Cup and the 2010 FIFA World Cup. However, I don't understand why an architect gave a lecture on the marketing aspects of the World Cup - no offence to Mr Mpahlwa - though he was quite informative.
