As the dust settles and the Vuvuzelas fade, I think of what's next
The sound of the vuvuzela’s is finally fading but the memories will live with us forever. The 2010 South Africa World Cup has come to an end and the impact it has had on South Africa will leave a cultural legacy that even FIFA cannot have envisaged when they awarded us this magnificent tournament. Over the past month our nation grew together in pursuit of a common goal – providing the best World Cup ever and sharing the African experience with the world. At Arcay we have had the privilege to experience hosting the world cup not only on a personal basis but also on a professional level, offering us up the opportunity to work with some of the world’s biggest corporations who we treated to some good old fashioned South African hospitality and showcased our beautiful country. We can only hope that the rest of South Africa benefitted in the same way we did. As sad as we all are to see the end of this spectacular event, I for one feel that this is the beginning of a new vibrant era for South Africa when we can confidently promote ourselves to the rest of the world. Now it’s time to seize upon the opportunity FIFA provided us with...next stop 2020 Olympic Games?
