World Cup fever is almost upon us and from what i see & hear most South Africans are slow of the mark when it comes to realizing the opportunities that are to be had where they always leaving things to the very last minute by then being to late

Hi Marg & Pap Sak

Thats exactly the reason why i made this post is for the simple reason as you both have stated.

First of all just because Fifa have tight restrictions in place to keep happy all major sponsors , then that doesn't mean everybody has to lie down and not participate.Why should they take all the glory and capitalize while everybody else just sits by all bleary eyed.As we know in any given venture then there's always risks where having bottle or should i say having the balls to play these big boys at there own game.As they say "He who laughs last wins" & with a population of 17 million and with the expected arrival of 500,000 tourists from various countries all with football fever & with a spending power of 10 Billion then all it takes is a little bit of creativity , innovation & dedication not to mention little capital.

Call it Guerilla Warfare call it what ever but see it as survival.

As to the fear of having leftover 2010 WC stock then if thats the case and you do have then somethings wrong. Maybe its time you look in the mirror and hang your head in shame and admit that its time you find a new job as sales is possibly not the right game to be playing

blarry hell Scotsman, I don't understand a word you've written there!

Lol, I am able to have a conversation in Hinglish, have a grasp of the mudder-tale (afrikaans), and can say a few bad things in two african dialects, but I swear, what I saw there in your post makes me wonder if I should'nt be speaking to my attorney...

Only problem is my attorney is sarf effrikin

Correction to that link its here.

I dont know that it offers anything positive. - for example - there are two ways to get into the accommodation thing - one, only if you are graded and two, only if you go with us. Some choice.

Then this is the solution to help the poor:-

It's vitally important that corporate South Africa is seen to be helping to get the benefits of the 2010 FIFA World Cup to the poorer communities - so any African type gifts, please try and source them from the rural communities, and please don't be shy about letting them know that corporate South Africa is helping the poorer communities!

This under sponsorship:-

Soccer has long been seen as the perfect vehicle for sponsors to deliver messages to the dream male demographic,

'dream male demographic' - what is that?

Seems the BS has already started in the quest for 2010 business opportunities.

Let's hope they don't ban them for the World Cup. It's definitely part of our local flavour!
