Exploding Myths

Mthobi Tyamzashe

26

“SA is greedy, wanting to host everything”

27

“SA is greedy, wanting to host everything”

IRB wants SA to bid

28

“SA can't handle two major events within space

of 12 months”

29

“SA can't handle two major events within space

of 12 months”We will be twice as ready

30

“RWC 2011 will detract from FIFA 2010”

31

“RWC 2011 will detract from FIFA 2010”

FIFA 2010, dominant in every respect

32

“SA can wait to bid for another RWC”

33

“SA can wait to bid for another RWC”

Next opportunity will probably be 2027
