LINK – Images of Cape Town airport, CTN station – with dramatic music! [oooow] What our 8 billion rands [2.8? billion pounds stirling] are being spent on [plus roads infrastructure plus?] Will they complete those city centre flyovers that have hung there for 30 years or so?!
UPDATE – 20 FEb 2009
LINK – BUY YOUR TICKETS – application and requires the brain of a rocket scientist to understand the charts!
I’d like to buy a ticket for one of the Cape Town games but have no idea how to go about it as the charts are all greek to me!
Got to be there – I’ve witnessed the stadium being built for the event! and the tickets for locals are going for 20 US dollars – which i didn’t see on the FIFA ticket charts
BBC World service radio, has been giving out all the infomation about the tickets going on sale to day.
UPDATE – 18 FEb 2009
Tickets for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa will go on sale at 1100 GMT on Friday, Fifa has announced.

UPDATE – 31st January 2009
The stadium is very very big! 65,000 seater The roof will be put in place and raised from the 5th to the 8th of February – you will be able to see it happening on the webcam link below. It’s a structure similar to a spoked bicycle wheel which is raised into place rather like a horizontal London wheel Apparently it’s a first of it’s kind – new technology never done before
LINK – Cape Town Stadium – Visitors centre website.
They do construction site walk abouts! – not while the roof is being done 5 – 8 Feb – call first to make sure they are on again.
And a viewing platform And they have an excellent presentation where the principle people involved are gruelled by a panel Will you get it done in time?
Why spend all that money? [it doesn't say how much though] 800 million pounds stirling according to the UK Gaurdian newspaper.
How will you stop the roof being blown off by the notorious south easter wind? etc
You see who the project manager is, the architect and other clever people also being grewlled by the panel
The centre has been put together with great ingenuity – the seating in the screening room is made from the last remaining section of the old stadium – with the original seats.
The presentation was most uplifting! Fabulous fly by animation of the stadium with table mountain as the back drop There is also a one man theatrical presentation of the history of the area – starting with the Khoi San up to today

LINK to see what the stadium will look like when finished
LINK full page webcam of Table Mountain
LINK 10 webcam choises
love it! – what a brilliant idea
there is one that shows you what the Q’s are like at the cable car – very few people hanging about now! [10 am] there’s one on the cable car - it seems to be stationary as it only shows a close up of a wall – there are also webcams showing – the N1 motor way @ century city – for traffic volume – Fishhoek – south facing from Clovellie & Knysna lagoon
you get a full screen image if you click on them
have just refreshed the page – it’s raining on the cable car window
and it’s brightening up with sun coming through the clouds from the Milerton webcam [take an umbrella just incase]
i wonder if there is a webcam on the other side [south side] of the hill?
often its raining there and it’s sunny in cape town

Life may be more akin to a series of meets than a single marathon.
You can lose a race here or there, as long as you win in one contest,
in one area. All the struggles you endured will become a prized
investment in your own person.

here’s a site that looks interesting but haven’t had time to check them out
eg. who funds them?
it might be one of the secret services websites – information gathering tools!
who owns it? who funds it?
CI A K GB [what is the new one called?] M I 5 [UK?] what is your countries secret service called?
[when you type it put gaps in it so that their search engines don't pick it up?] always ur on the side of caution or am i paranoid?!
can’t remember how i found this site – it looks OK
“AVAAZ.org is a new global web movement with a simple democratic mission: to close the gap between the world we have and the world most people everywhere want…….Technology and the internet have allowed citizens to connect and mobilize like never before.

The champions of human rights inevitably face persecution from the entrenched authorities and the powers that be. This is a constant of history; it is inescapable. All victories for human rights have been won as the fruit of such struggles. Therefore, it is necessary to always view things from a long-range perspective. By so doing, one becomes able to perceive the essence of the matter and to see the broad path to victory that lies ahead.

you have to listen to this!
i was glued to my speakers!
it clearly and sysematically explains the background to the entire affair
going way back to the arms deal and chubby? shake? his accountant
right up to to day.
i would like your reaction and opinion on it from all sides of the pollitical
spectrum.
“Jacob Zuma is one of the most powerful men in South Africa. He controls the
ruling African National Congress and is poised to replace President Thabo Mbeki
as head of state. But Jacob Zuma has a problem. Prosecutors say he’s corrupt
and hope to bring him to trial in August. Mr Zuma says the charges are
political, designed to keep him from power. For Assignment Martin Plaut
travelled to South Africa to investigate.”
