DANNY Jordaan, chief executive of the local organising committee for the 2010 World Cup, will on Friday address members of the National African Federated Chamber of Commerce and Industries in Nelspruit.

The meeting with Nafcoc will be the first to be held at the recently completed Mbombela Stadium, one of the venues for the soccer showpiece.

"Our members were not fortunate to participate in large numbers during the construction of the stadium," said Nafcoc president in Mpumalanga Sydney Kunene.

"We thought it would be wise for Nafcoc to start exploring the business opportunities for the next phase of development.

"We are delighted that Jordaan, an experienced sports administrator, will be sharing some ideas with us."

Kunene said the stadium offered an excellent opportunity for a sports precinct in the area. - Riot Hlatshwayo
