FIFA World Cup 2010: Important questions
Only 38 days until the FIFA World Cup 2010, so it is time to answer some important questions about South Africa. (These questions were apparently posted on a South African Tourism Website and were answered by the website owner. These and more questions you will find here). Enjoy!
Does it ever get rainy in South Africa ? I have never seen it rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? ( UK )
We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die.
Will I be able to see elephants in the street? ( USA )
Depends how much you’ve been drinking.
I want to walk from Durban to Cape Town – can I follow the railroad tracks? ( Sweden )
Sure, it’s only two thousand kilometres. Take lots of water…
Is it safe to run around in the bushes in South Africa ? ( Sweden )
So it’s true what they say about Swedes.
Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in South Africa ? Can you send me a List of them in JHB, Cape Town , Knysna and Jeffrey’s Bay? ( UK )
What did your last slave die of?
Which direction is north in South Africa ? ( USA )
Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we’ll send the rest of the directions.
Can I bring cutlery into South Africa ? ( UK )
Why? Just use your fingers like we do.
Do you celebrate Christmas in South Africa ? ( France )
Only at Christmas.
Are there supermarkets in Cape Town and is milk available all year round? ( Germany )
No, we are a peaceful civilisation of vegetarian hunter- gatherers. Milk Is illegal.
Please send a list of all doctors in South Africa who can dispense rattlesnake serum. ( USA )
Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca, which is where YOU come from. All South African snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make good pets.

Sports Fever
Over the last two months South Africa hosted three big sporting events. The 2009 Confederations Cup, the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Lions Rugby Tour took the country by storm!
The IPL showed the country`s flexibility to host a tournament with only a couple of weeks notice, after the IPL was moved from Sri Lanka to South Africa due to security concerns.
The biggest event – especially for this region- was the Lions Tour. Tens of thousands of UK tourists came to see the test matches with South Africa`s Springboks. All Open Safari Vehicles available in the Kruger National Park had been sold out months before the tournament after thousands of Lions fans descended on the Sabie Valley region to enjoy the Park between the games in Pretoria and Johannesburg.
South Africa proved that it is possible!
