Biggest Sporting spectacle on South African soil

The biggest sporting extravaganza is all set to take off in a weeks time from now. Without doubt this will be the biggest event hosted by South Africa on its soil. The even not only has one of the highest viewerships among all sports events but also is one of the most popular sports in the world.

It's success is critical for South Africa as a rainbow nation trying to prove to the world that it will succeed as a unified nation. The planning, organising, the scheduling, logistics and most importantly the security need to be spot on for it to succeed as an international tournament. It is the Football World Cup 2010 after all. After that it is up to the footballers to make it a big success.

The South Africans have shown that they have the know how and the will to succeed as they have earlier hosted the T20 world cup, the cricket world cup and earlier a rugby world cup. SO they have the know how and the experience to pull of this feat.

And presiding over this mega event will be the South African President Jacob Zuma. I will be keen to watch him as he takes centre stage along with his mutiple wives. The keenness is to see his latest and youngest wife who is at the center of a scandal where it is alleged that the latest baby she is carrying has been fathered by her bodyguard- who then later committed suicide. Really interesting life for a head of state I would say right? Closest to such an eventful life would be French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Update: 5th August, 2015

So the world cup is gone and it was a success. So has the next world cup in Brazil and I loved it because my favorite Germans won. Viva la Football. Waiting anxiously for the next set of super stars.
