Joburg football lovers are counting down the days, 500 to be exact. As the FIFA World Cup approaches, fans, organisers and workers survey the City's world-class stadiums and they all agree, "Viva 2010!".
WE did it; Johannesburg
and the rest of South Africa
successfully pulled off a fabulous Confederations Cup, standing us in good
stead for next year's World Cup.
THEY may have lost to Brazil in the
dying minutes of the game - by a single goal - but Bafana Bafana held their own
against one of the best teams in the world. And that is something to blow the vuvuzelas about.

Joburg plays a crucial role in 2010, and the City aims to make it the best World Cup yet.
Leaving a legacy

A green agenda

Joburg’s residents will enjoy.
