South Africa will deliver a world-class event that will forever change the perceptions of the international community, and also ensure a lasting legacy for the people of Africa. – President Jacob Zuma, Republic of South Africa

South Africa has not only made its mark on international sports fields, but has also successfully hosted a number of major international events. These include, among other things, the 1995 World Cup, 1996 African Cup of Nations, 2003 Cricket World Cup and the Indian Premier League in 2009. These events and the 2009 Confederations Cup demonstrate South Africa’s readiness to host the 2010 FIFA World CupTM. The 2010 FIFA World CupTM will expose South Africa and the continent to the world, optimise tourism and other developmental opportunities, promote soccer and foster pride and confidence in Africa.

When the first match of the 2010 FIFA World CupTM kicks off in South Africa, it will be the culmination of years of dedicated effort, planning and commitment. Long after the last whistle has blown, South Africa and Africa will continue to reap the rewards of its investments in this tournament, which have catalysed huge developments.

All of South Africa has risen to the occasion to make this the best World Cup ever.

SOUTH AFRICA IS READY TO HOST THE WORLD

We have every confidence in our security establishment to secure this event … we have no doubt that the World Cup will be a runaway success, – Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, Republic of South Africa

GOVERNMENT GUARANTEES

Before South Africa was granted the right to host the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, national government departments provided 17 guarantees to FIFA. Government has used these guarantees as the blueprint for its preparations for the tournament. Since being awarded the bid, a coordinated and concentrated effort has been made by all the relevant departments to achieve these undertakings.

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

The South African Government is using the event to fast-track infrastructure development in the country and to provide a catalyst for regional and continental exposure and growth.

TOURISM

South Africa offers visitors scenic beauty, magnificent outdoors, a sunny climate and unique cultural and biological diversity. The hosting of the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, which will attract hundreds of thousands of people to our shores, has provided the impetus for expanding the regional and local tourism sectors. Some of the initiatives that have been undertaken to make visitors’ experience safe, comfortable and enjoyable include:

• The Geographic Information System Mapping of all tourism products and related services, which will include graded accommodation establishments. This information is available on: www.tourism.gov.za or link directly to the maps on: www.touristmaps.co.za.

• Visitor information centres have been launched in Polokwane,

Rustenburg, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein and Nelspruit.

• Promoting service excellence through a project to train frontline service staff across all tourism-service points on service excellence.

• The 2010 Tourism Ambassador Programme, which will target

approximately 15 000 volunteers for placement across host cities during the 2010 FIFA World CupTM.

• Language training: the Department of Tourism, in partnership with the Department of International Relations and Cooperation, is facilitating the training of tourist guides in the official FIFA languages: Portuguese, Arabic, German and Italian.

AccommodationBy October 2009, 46 972 rooms had been contracted by MATCH for official use by the FIFA family, delegates and affiliates. Of these, 31 371 were hotel rooms and 15 601 were non-hotel accommodation.

There is a common understanding between government and tourism industry-players that inflating prices during the 2010 FIFA World CupTM will be detrimental to the sustainability of the industry beyond the event.

ENTRY INTO SOUTH AFRICA

During the 2010 FIFA World CupTM, an estimated 450 000 ticket holders are expected to visit South Africa over a four-week period. The Department of Home Affairs is implementing special measures to ensure smooth access when entering and/or exiting South Africa. These include:•Eventvisas: South Africa will be the first country in the history

of the 2010 FIFA World CupTM to offer an event visa. The event visa will be issued to nationals travelling from non-visa exempt countries who are able to provide proof of purchase of a FIFA match ticket. These visas are issued to qualifying travellers at no cost. Security will not be compromised and all applicants will have to comply with the normal visa requirements. Accredited FIFA delegates will travel visa-free if they come from non-visa exempt countries.

•Dedicated lanes: These lanes are designed to ensure that travellers arriving at our shores receive priority treatment.

•Advancedpassengerprocessing: This is a “pre-departure passenger screening” process for all passengers and crew travelling by air into and through South Africa. It will facilitate the entry of bona fide passengers with minimum delay.

•Temporary joint border clearance: This will enable travellers to be processed within a controlled and secure co-located border facility when they enter South Africa.

• Immigrationliaisonofficers: This is a control measure that will ensure the validation of travel documents for authenticity at selected foreign airports of origin to identify undesirable individuals travelling to South Africa prior to their departure from the country of origin. The airline and immigration services at ports of entry will then be notified of any such individual en route to South Africa.

•Mobileborderunits: These will be available at land ports of entry where a high volume of visitors are expected during the tournament. Through these units, travellers will experience fast and organised service, reduced congestion, enhanced security and better monitoring of illegal activities at land border posts.

BORDER CONTROL COORDINATING COMMITTEE (BCOCC)

The BCOCC is a mandated structure within government to coordinate activities at ports of entry. The South African Revenue Service (Sars) is the lead agency and holds the Chair of the committee. A 2010 FIFA World CupTM Forum was constituted within the committee to coordinate efforts of member departments in processing people and goods coming into our country for the tournament. The list of prioritised ports of entry that was approved by the BCOCC Executive Committee consists of 12 airports, 13 land and four sea ports.

TRANSPORT

Government is using the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ to improve South Africa’s transport system. Transport services and infrastructure are being designed to meet the efficiency, safety, quality and cost-effective requirements of the modern era, and will be accessible to all – visitors and residents alike.

A total investment of R13,6 billion has been allocated to improve public transportation systems. This is part of an overall investment of

R170 billion in the country’s transport system over the five-year period from 2005/06 to 2009/10.

Improvementstothetransportsysteminclude:

• An additional 1 500 buses will be made available. • Over 2 000 train coaches are being refurbished.• Major infrastructure upgrades are being implemented in airports

in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth. A new airport will open in April 2010 outside Durban.

The accelerated transport investments will yield a lasting legacy of quality transport services, infrastructure and systems in the country, benefiting millions of South Africans.

• Interpol will be setting up an office in South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World CupTM.

ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE

A key area for the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development will be to deal with all criminal cases in a fast and efficient way, especially where foreigners are involved. The following special measures will be implemented:

• At least one dedicated district court and one regional court will be set up per host city to deal with 2010-related cases for the period 28 May to 25 July 2010.

• Dedicated, skilled and experienced magistrates, prosecutors, Legal Aid South Africa attorneys, local and foreign court language interpreters and other court officials will be assigned to each of the dedicated 2010 courts.

• All 2010-related cases outside of the host cities will be prioritised and dealt with in a court with jurisdiction.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT AND FIRE SERVICES

The 2010 Disaster-Management Master Plan was developed for joint implementation by the members of the 2010 National Disaster-Management Steering Committee.

Other preparations include: • the deployment of 800 disaster-management and fire-services

reservists in the host cities • procurement of two multipurpose equipment caches, deployed in

Gauteng and the Western Cape respectively, to deal with potential incidents around Urban Search and Rescue.

An estimated R200 million has already been spent by host cities and provincial governments to improve fire-services infrastructure and capacity. There will be expenditure towards training specialists in hazardous material and how to respond to incidents involving chemicals and other dangerous substances.

HEALTH AND MEDICAL SERVICES

All players, officials, visitors, support staff and vendors attending the various events will have access to adequate and appropriate health and medical services. Medical teams will be strategically positioned throughout each stadium and its precinct.

The Department of Health has established various working groups, focusing on such areas as emergency medical services (EMS), on-site medical centres (event venue and VIP hotels), aero-medical services, disaster and mass casualty planning and biochemical defence.

Out of the 15 000 volunteers, 80% will come from South Africa, 10% from the other countries on the continent of Africa and the remainder from the rest of the world.

10

Volunteers will work in areas of information services, media, protocol, spectator services and transportation. All the recruited and selected volunteers will be trained.

The 2010 Organising Committee’s (OC) Volunteer Programme is implemented on two levels: 2010 OC volunteers and host-city volunteers. Volunteers will either service FIFA or assist spectators with information on host cities and stadiums.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The Department of Environmental Affairs has embarked on wide-scale environmental communication initiatives. These include the National Legacy Report and several campaigns around greening.

The department has conceptualised several Expanded Public Works Programme projects, which include the:

•Waste-Collection Project: The department will assist some host cities with waste collection to ensure that cities are clean. This will happen prior, during and after the tournament. Temporary staff will be trained and employed for this purpose by the respective appointed service-providers during this period.

•NationalEnvironmentalVolunteerProject: Some 500 volunteers will receive training in environmental issues, tourism and 2010 FIFA World CupTM match-related information.

•Non-Motorised Transport Project: The project is an attempt to reduce carbon emissions. At least three of the nine

host cities are considering the implementation of bicycle lanes in strategic locations for the 2010 FIFA World CupTM.

•TrainingofEnergyAuditors:Some 100 energy auditors will be trained to address the shortage of energy auditors’ skills in the country.

•CarbonOffsetProgramme: The department has collaborated internationally to map out the carbon offset as a result of hosting the 2010 FIFA World CupTM.

ENSURING SUFFICIENT ENERGY SUPPLY

The Department of Energy has taken the lead to ensure that all energy matters are addressed for the 2010 FIFA World CupTM. Technical power for critical elements of stadiums will run on generators and grid supply will be provided as backup, as required by FIFA.

Between 2007 and 2010, over R300 million had been invested by host provinces in the procuring of generators and expanding and upgrading electricity infrastructure.

SPORT AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

The hosting of the 2010 FIFA World CupTM gives an opportunity to build on existing programmes that involve South Africans in healthy physical activities and to grow communities through sport.

11

About R25 million has been allocated across all nine provinces from 2007 to 2010 for club development in disadvantaged communities. A further investment of R212 million for school and community sport has been made over the same period.

ARTS AND CULTURE The Department of Arts and Culture will use the 2010 FIFA World CupTM to market the African cultural experience to the international community; express the African identity; educate people about our national symbols; and showcase our diversity through music, arts and crafts, dance, food and fashion. The department will play a key role in the FIFA final draw, and the 2010 FIFA World CupTM opening and closing ceremonies. The department will also develop and upgrade a selection of community art centres and ensure that all departmentally funded institutions produce a world-class tournament programme.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Since government has declared the 2010 FIFA World CupTM a protected event, the Department of Trade and Industry is responsible for the protection of intellectual property rights. “Protected event” means that the 2010 FIFA World CupTM is protected in terms of South Africa’s intellectual property laws and regulations. Enforcement of national legislation is being carried out by the Sars, SAPS and other relevant bodies.
