WORLD CUP IN AFRICA
HISTORY IN THE MAKING!

By Charles Mwewa, Toronto, Canada, Monday, December 28, 2009
When it comes to African issues and affairs, most people don’t just get it. I mean, when a British Szymanski, an economics professor at Cass Business School in London, and Kuper, a sports writer living in Paris, allege, according to Stephen Wade writing in the Toronto Star of December 2nd, 2009, that the 2010 “World Cup will be no money bonanza for South Africa,” they are again digging a dagger into the old stereotypical mentality.

For one thing, they forget to acknowledge the historic nature of hosting the World Cup for the first time on the African continent. For another, they are playing with the same old propaganda of negating anything developmental taking place on the African continent. How many times have we heard such imperialistic epithets about Africa!

Let us face it; the Soccer World Cup is highly lucrative by any standards, especially for the host nation. That is why there is so much stone-throwing when it comes to bidding for it. The World Cup is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world. The last one held in Germany had an estimated 715.1 million people watching! Don’t tell me that any sober thinking, capital-minded person will not raise eye-brows!

Let us come to basics, the championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930 with the exception of the interwar years, 1942 and 1946, when it did not take place due to the Second World War.  Governed by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association or FIFA, the sport's global governing body brings together 32 teams to compete for the title at venues within the host nation or nations over a period of a month.

The 2010 World Cup will be held in South Africa between June 11th and July 11th.  [More]

BREAKING A BEGGAR-MENTALITY IN 2010!

I believe that aid is only necessary to help in the initial stages. I do not believe that a person, and for that matter, a nation, should continue to bank on the generosity of other nations or people indefinitely.[More]
