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.
