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.
