World Cup South Africa Count down, 100 days to go to 2010

"We had expected 400 000-500 000 foreign fans ..."

Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke said in Zurich.

but fewer than expected international visitors will be attending the 2010 Fifa World Cup.

The Transport department said that it received confirmation that just over 100 000 international soccer fans would be attending the tournament.

due to sky high Air fares, accomodation prices and crime fears but South Africans have been snapping up more than half the 2.1 million tickets sold so far, so fear not ...

you will not sit and watch the matches alone !

Watch the facade at the bottom

This piece has been replaced and the work is almost finished

 

And a piece of the facade is being replaced here,

when you walk around the stadium

you see many small patches on the facade and recently they have replaced 

bigger patches of 3 parts,  I can easily see the difference from my home

they are whiter then the rest
