Fare Thee Well my President

For us to be awarded the 2010, it was crucial that we involve the Government and indeed our Government, under the great leadership of Thabo Mbeki, came to the party. Then Sepp Blatter and the troops were convinced that all South Africans were willing to host the world, then they announced that we are the perfect hosts for the prestigious event. It therefore is very sad for me to say, “Fare Thee Well my President. I know that the United Nations, or other world bodies of repute, will seek your expertise and will use your wisdom and vision to bring the benefits you brought to our country and other African countries.”

I like what Dirk Uys wrote to the Editor of news24 I Quote “What times we live in, swopping a former president with a degree in economics and a vision of an African Renaissance with a future president with standard three and a machine gun in his song.” I know I will be labeled to be in a certain camp, so I might as well pronounce that I am indeed in a camp, the Diskioff camp.

I personally felt that the ANC should have let the President serve out his few remaining months in office and that was probably the mood of the Diskioff world. Look, as the host of the 2010 showpiece, we do not need the speculations of a politically unstable South Africa. After the Beijing Olympics, the world focus shifted to Africa, and South Africa to be more specific. So far we have been doing well and FIFA knew they could trust SA even after our elections next year for the best world cup come 2010. But do they still do now?
