South Africa Oct. 4, 2006

A group of us from Britain, all with an eye to what South Africa is doing to stage World Cup 2010 and what expertise we can offer (me my photos and exhibitions and audience enchantment) drive to see 3 of the sites to be used. One in Johannesburg is the Ellis Park ground, famed mostly for rugby…and for a disaster akin to Hillsborough, but just 4 years ago. Another is at Rustenburg, in the principality of a tin-rich tribe. The last is a mere site, in the scrub, at Nelspruit, where a lone man waits (every day for some weeks now) as he’s heard there could be the prospect of work.
