MY 2010

The Soccer World Cup has come and gone. South Africa has certainly done the world proud.  We entertained and hosted thousands of foreign guests and a good time was certainly had by all.  Vuvuzelas and kuduzelas filled the air with monotonous cacophony, while flags and "socks" adorned car aerials, windows and side-view mirrors.

I have never been a huge soccer fan and will never become one, but the atmosphere was electrifying.  Having such a huge, world-class event happening on your doorstep made it even more special. 

Nelson Mandela Bay was bursting at the seems but everything seemed to be under control - no power cuts, the depleted water supply was enough to sustain the masses and the transport system proved to be successful.

It was, in essence, a successful event worthy of international praise. 

To Brazil we'll go in 2014.  Hope to see you there.
