One city official said it was a “typical case and Cape Town was asking too many questions and they (Safa) probably said ‘screw them’.”

Its strange - people moan and gripe when the stadiums went up - they asked "when are we going to use them again?" - Now that we do want to host a tournement people still gripe about the costs involved !! They do not understand that there will always be running expenses - money needs to be spent by the government and the municipality for the town/city to grow, for the city's shops and industries to benefit from tourists !! I would rather money is spent on things like this than the money going into someones back pocket and then no one benefits in the long run !! It costs money to host a tournement, but at the end of the day the government gets the money back because we all benefit and pay more taxes at the end of the day !!!!
