KwaZulu-Natal Province 2010 Website
Sanibonani! Greetings to each of you! The launch of the KZN 2010 provincial website is yet another milestone in our provincial plan towards the world tournament. In the province we believe that that 2010 is a once in a life-time opportunity. We believe that it is our moment as a country, province and continent to show the rest of the world that “we can deliver”. We must grasp this opportunity. We must embrace it with open arms. We are extremely honoured that FIFA LOC CEO Dr. Danny Jordaan also joins us in the celebration to launch this vital platform that is so critical to the success of 2010 in our province of KwaZulu-Natal.

Making our World Cup the best ever
With under a year to go, South Africa needs all its citizens to get behind the 2010 Fifa World Cup to ensure that it is indeed the greatest World Cup of all time.
Here are just a few suggestions on how to get involved in the 2010 World Cup:
1. Get excited about the 2010 World Cup: It is going to be a great tournament. South Africa will be ready in time and we are going to dazzle the world.
2. Keep up to speed with developments: Follow the news and know how South Africa is doing in getting ready for the World Cup. Visit Fifa World Cup, South Africa 2010 and South Africa - The Good News for updates about our progress.
3. Inform your friends: Armed with all your knowledge, keep your friends informed.
4. Inform the world: If you read an article with incorrect information in the local or international press, write them a letter and let them know!
5. Become a 2010 World Cup volunteer: Nearly 40 000 South Africans applied to be volunteers for the Confederations Cup 2009. The volunteer application process for the 2010 World Cup opens at Fifa World Cup on 1 July 2009.
6. Get the gear: Buy official 2010 World Cup merchandise at Edgars stores and at the OR Tambo International Airport's 2010 World Cup merchandise store.
7. Be proudly South African: Buy a South African flag, put a SA flag sticker on your car, talk positively about your country. We have achieved so much and have much to be proud of.
8. Learn the words to the national anthem: It's not that hard, it just takes a bit of work! Practice it before Bafana Bafana and Springbok matches and wherever you do your singing, from the shower to the car!
9. Be a travel agent: Encourage your South African friends and family that are overseas to be back in South Africa for the tournament. And tell your non-South African friends to come and be part of a fantastic African event.
10. Get graded: Get registered as an official accommodation provider for the 2010 Fifa World Cup by visiting the Tourism Grading Council website.
11. Start a virtual conversation: If you are techsavvy, then blog and tweet about the tournament. Get a debate going. Start a conversation.
12. Think global, act local: It is fine to continue to support the Liverpools and the Manchester Uniteds of the world, but it is much cooler to also support a local PSL team.
13. Live and direct: Go to a PSL game and take in the unique atmosphere. Take a friend to a match. Enjoy the ladumas and the shibobo!
14. Find out what laduma and shibobo mean: They're our South African contribution to the soccer lexicon.
15. Learn how to blow a vuvuzela: On TV it just sounds like a drone, but at the games, in the stadiums, it is a musical language.
16. Do the Makarapa: Like the vuvuzela, this is something that is unique to the South African soccer experience. A cleverly reconditioned miner's helmet, it is a work of art and could become an internationally recognised icon.
17. Visit our new stadiums: Go to the visitor's centre at some of the new stadiums (Durban, Green Point and Soccer City) and learn how these stadiums are changing the face of our cities.
18. Become more of a local: Learn some Zulu & Xhosa words and phrases - such as “Hello!”, “How are you?” and “Where are you from?” - to teach to visitors to our country. You'll give our guests the gift of our beautiful languages.
19. Say “Hola!”: Learn a few words in the native language of the teams that are playing in your city. You'll make our guests feel welcome and at home.
20. Learn the rules of football: Especially the offside rule. The more you know, the better it gets!
21. Support Bafana Bafana: They're on a bit of a roll at the moment and have been on a winning streak. Get behind the boys. Let them know that the nation is behind them. The hosts normally play well... but they need your support!
22. Support the FIFA Confederations Cup: Encourage your company to buy tickets. When last were you able to see the likes of Torres, Kaká, Pirlo and Ronaldinho live in action?
With only two days to the first match of the Fifa Confederations Cup 2009 on 14 June - with Bafana Bafana facing Iraq at Ellis Park - more than 70% (438,000) of tickets have been sold.
Tickets can be purchased (even on match days) at:
* Main Ticketing Centre at Sandton Isle, Corner of Rivonia Road and Linden Street, Sandown/Johannesburg;
* Mangaung/Bloemfontein Venue Ticketing Centre - Lochlogan Waterfront Mall, Corner of Charles Street and 1st Avenue;
* Rustenburg Venue Ticketing Centre - Waterfall Mall, 1 Augrabies Avenue;
* Tshwane/Pretoria Venue Ticketing Centre - Brooklyn Mall, Corner of Middel and Fehrsen Street, New Muckleneuk.
The ticket centres will be open from 9am-6pm, seven days a week.
To further assist football fans, a Ticketing Call Centre has been established and fans can call 083 2010 010 to book their seat at the Fifa Confederations Cup. There will be no ticket sales at the four stadiums.
23. Get your 2010 tickets NOW: Tickets for the 2010 FIFA World Cup have been on sale since the 20th of February 2009 - and they've been going fast!
Visit Fifa World Cup's ticketing website to book your tickets to witness history as Africa hosts its first soccer World Cup, and the best World Cup ever.

Opportunities 2010
For South Africa, 2010 is all about opportunities - opportunities to market this country and the continent to the world; opportunities to show everyone that South Africa truly is “alive with possibility”; and opportunities to grow local entrepreneurship.
Economic Opportunities
Come June 2010, an estimated 2.7 million spectators will watch the FIFA World CupTM’s 64 matches played around the country. And when the final is shown, a television audience of up to 2.8 billion people will have their eyes glued on South Africa.
Procurement
To maximize the impact of R17.4 billion in public spending, procurement for 2010 will be conducted in a way that furthers black economic empowerment and strengthens small and medium-sized enterprises (SMMEs)
Community Opportunities
The FIFA World CupTM is a global tournament – but in 2010 the people of South Africa will lie at the very heart of the event.
