Tourism
South Africa is expecting nearly half a million foreign tourists during the World Cup
tourism officials say they fear visitors will be put off by exorbitant costs as hotels and guest lodges raise their prices
Up to 290,000 extra visitors are expected to come over the five years after the tournament because of South Africa's heightened visibility
"We want returning visitors and tourists and the only way we can get that is if people feel a sense of fairness in the prices.“ (Danny Jordaan)

World Cup 2010:
Controversies
„South Africa gets raped in many ways in 2010 and as usual it is the children and the poor that suffer while the big mouths put on their suits and cut another deal.“
Andy Campbell, December 13th, 2009
Fast Facts
¼ of SA‘s undereighteens are growing up without their biological parents
number of double orphans has doubled in the past 5 years
Number of children who lost one or both parents to aids is 1.4 million
Aids-> key cause of decline of conventional family
Fast Facts
There were officially 36,190 rapes in 2007-08 and 14,201 carjackings, but many crimes go unreported.
About 50 people a day are murdered
Fast Facts
This week the army has taken to the streets in armoured vehicles to raid 54 some of Johannesburg's most notorious areas.
Critical issues
Hiding the homeless? Eviction and Housing Rights
Strikes – „We want a piece of the big cake, too!“
Crime,HIV and human trafficking
Hiding the homeless?
Article in the Sunday Times
electronic food vouchers
"concentration camps"
“moving the problem out of sight“
Hiding the homeless
evictions meant to „beautify“ the city Elimination and Prevention of Re-Emergence
of Slums Act 2007 in KwaZulu-Natal
was found unconstitutional by South African Constitutional Court, abolished on October 14th 2009
N2 Gateway housing project, CapeTown
Hiding the homeless
Hiding the homeless
But the footballing extravaganza is a mystery to the poor. The image of people living without electricity or running water in the shadow of gleaming new stadiums is not something the government is anxious to show the world. It stands accused of evicting thousands of people from their homes to make way for new developments that will benefit only tourists.
Hiding the homeless
S'bu Zikode, president of Abahlali baseMjondolo, the South African shack dwellers' movement:
"We are supposed to be happy and excited to be hosting this major event but evictions are already taking place on a large scale. The government is focusing on the international visitors rather than poor communities. The role of the poor is seemingly to work hard in hotels, soccer stadiums and other facilities for the world's benefit, but then be kicked out of the cities and not share in the profits."
Hiding the homeless
government will deepen poverty while hiding it from international fans and media.
government sees slums as image problem
In reality this is a human problem for the thousands of people who lose their homes
Strikes
World Cup created estimated 415.000 jobs including 50,000 in construction
BUT: general worker earns 14 rand (~1,06 pounds)
Government plans for buses have angered minibus taxi drivers
HIV and human trafficking
In SA, an estimated 40% of HIV-positive children are not able to get treatment
280000 children in SA infected
HIV and human trafficking
authorities fear an increase in child trafficking during World Cup
247 000 children in SA work in exploitive labour
HIV and human trafficking
Schools closed during World Cup children left unattended
children loitering around, without much activity
high risk of trafficking and sexual exploitation
Soccer fans and visitors spending money create whole network that criminal networks want to benefit from
Risky?
Opporunity fraught with danger:
South Africa has never hosted an event on this scale or under such scrutiny.
If it backfires, the country‘s reputation will be set back years
Outlook
„Football is just a game, it only becomes important when it does something for humanity“
(Joseph-Antoine Bell, former Cameroon goalkeeper)
Fifa give-away of thousands of World Cup Tickets
Outlook
first beneficiaries of the free tickets: -> the 20 000 construction workers who
worked on stadium projects in this way everyone is given a ‘piece
of the cake’! all these projects could be continued
afterwards
Outlook
The World‘s awareness of problems could force government to act.
What do we make of it?
“Foreigners attending the World Cup stand a chance of grasping the complexity between the two poles of the stereotypes.”
FEAR or HOPE?
These Germans again…
The Noble Savage Myth
Blatter: “Africa as the country of music, dance, rhythm, hopes and dreams”
VS
German team adviced
to wear bullet-proof vests
And what do we make of it?
reveal complexity despite coverage
(do not let journalists preform your opinion – make own experiences, look beyond!)
destroy stereotypes (let your own mindsets behind)
open up to new thinking for diversity and also contradictions of South Africa and it‘s people
