The Guy in Pink Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 It seems that the world cup is going cause havoc to all other sports events that coincide with the world cup. A major cycling event in Limpopo is threatened as 75% of the local police force and all but 3 of the Local traffic department will be deployed elsewhere SA. Let's hope that a way can be found around the lack of official man power. Another disruption less serious: Yesterday my daughter & I presented ourselves at our Chemist for our annual flu Jab only to be told that none were available as the Gov has diverted stocks " For the world cup" !!The Guy in Pink2010-04-30 00:43:09
HowellingWulf Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Second you on the flu shot thing. The company I work for sponsors the flu jab for all their permanent employees. This year the incentive had to be cancelled since there was no vaccines available...
Overlord Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 This soccer thing must get to an end now. I'm fed-up with all these ads and talk regarding the worldcup. So what!!! They are going to play soccer and the host nation is going to be spectators. The only people that will enjoy this worldcup is the criminal element in this country. Sad but true.

pastapouch Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 well, the municipalities have 36 swimming pools in Gauteng. And have a R10m budget for maintenance. Apparently for the world cup , they took R5m.
Mojoman Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I can't wait for it to be over. Thanks to last years tight business year my plans to be out of the country for the SWC period are no more...!!
kosmonooit Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Its obscene that so much state attention and resources is being diverted to this fiasco, which is nothing more that a smoke screen for graft.?

Thats a bit of a sore statement Onetime!! It is going to boost our country hosting it, even if we don't enjoy football it is still a good thing for the economy!!
AndreZA Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Last week they said how many man hours will be lost due to people calling in "sick" just to watch the games. They also said that companies must rather allow the employees to watch the games at work. What's next, allow them booze and snacks at work aswell.

I think its greatPlanning a trip thru Central Kalahari Game Reserve and back down the Makgadigadi Pans during that period.Everyone will stay your side of the border and we will have the place to ourselves
bees Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Bloody pessimists.... u might just be right, blood will have someting to do with it.
bees Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 bottom line is that the sooner the soccer comes to an end, the sooner all the other sporting events could proceed as normal.......

AndreZA Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 The quicker the tournament starts the quicker we can recover from the shame for being the only host country ever not to make it past the 1st round.
