Tickets for the Africa Cup of Nations, which is to be held in our country in January, went on sale this week, or so we were made to believe.

Why are these games not played in Pretoria? Pretoria is a capital city of SA. I wonder who planned this nonsense...

It goes to show how little the respect South Africa has for the rest of Africa,years prior to the kick off of the 2010 fifa world cup, there was massive roll out of advertisment both in print media and otherwise, even the gogos in the rural areas could feel the buzz in the atmosphere, people were encouraged to wear soccer jerseys on fridays to support the National team and to further spread the awareness, and just three months before the biggest sporting showpiece on the continent of Africa only about 5% of the SA population is aware it's happening right here in our backyard. I wonder how people are going to buy tickets, if they are not even aware of the competetion. Shame on SA.

The SAFA requirement are the killing of the football, remember the host municipality have to fokoff millions rand in bity to host such game.

polokwane ,cape town,pretoria and other choose to opt out ,polokwane municipality have lost millions of rand via FIFA world cup and SAFA have adopted such system of which it will cost more money with less garantee for profit
