• Contrary to skeptics and their prophecies of doom, this is task that is fully feasible. South Africa and all her people assisted and supported by Southern Africa and Africa at large will successfully host a memorable World Cup in 2010.
59
INTRODUCTION• There are numerous learnings that have been gathered from
Germany. As a National Broadcaster the SABC had a crew based Germany for over 6 weeks, in a bid to bring the 2006 World Cup home but also to acquire an insight into the intricacies of the World Cup.
• A foremost learning is the importance of communication prior, during and post a World Cup.
• The modern day World Cup lends a lot of its success to 3 major aspects, outside of the traditional planning processes. Communication, Communication and more Communication.
• At the heart of the FIFA World Cup is the Television Signal– it must be planned and delivered as a Television Spectacle (Branding, Revenue Generation, Atmosphere).
60
SUCCESS IN HOSTING THE FIFA WORLD CUP
• Hosting a FIFA World Cup competition has always and will continue to have a tremendously positive impact on the overall improvement of a country.
• The FIFA World Cup has acquired such immense dimensions and international importance that the direct involvement and active support of the Government has become a prerequisite of the FIFA World Cup.
• Building on the structure execution structure used in 2006, in 2010 FIFA is taking a hands on approach in commercial activities:
– Selling of all rights– Selling of Sponsorship– MATCH Company– TV Productions
• The success of the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa will be measured on not only the 4 weeks of the finals in June/July 2010, but also on the successful staging of FIFA events prior to the World Cup as well as the legacy that the event leaves behind for South Africa and Africa
61
AFRICA’S CALL• Ensure Africa has access to the 2010 Soccer World Cup – Ensure
acquisition of broadcast rights with URTNA and SABA (SABC CEO is SABA President).
• Institute a Africa Wide Marketing drive – partner with FIFA Legacy campaign, “one year to South Africa Road Show (the path of an African Horn”, SABC to launch a 24hrs News Channel by March 07, and the SABC Chairs the Africa Broadcaster Media Partnership on Aids.
• Create a broadcasting legacy to improve the Football economy – build partnership between local broadcasters and FA’s using the rights as an incentive.
• Create a legacy in terms of access to communication – eg Silencing the Guns for 30 days in 2010 Campaign.
62
Africa’s Call Progress• Collaboration with URTNA and SABA discussion on the achievement of a truly African World Cup underway.
• Communication and education plans underway
• Broadcasting into Africa proposal is that the SABC in association with Government to assess the probability of acquiring all the Africa rights, with SABC acting as the Gatekeeper, in a bid to assist struggling broadcasters.
• SADC plans in place to ensure the inclusion of SADC broadcasters in the SABC’s activities for 2010 to ensure a knowledge sharing process and regional legacy and skills development.

• There is a need to ensure that all the Citizens of our Nation, are empowered to be the hosts that the world expects them to be, come June and July 2010.
• There is a need to ensure that the World Cup does not happen around us in our own country, but happens with us and through us – Broadcasting becomes the core to the delivery of this aspect.
