2010 WC paradigm shifts

• Global stereotypes towards Africa challenged

• Local self belief– Can think big– Can work together

for a common purpose

– Can deliver on time– Can go beyond

‘business as usual’ thinking

Attitudinal shifts and great expectations

• Its nice to walk the streets of the city, especially at night

• Public transport is OK• The Central City is a great place to visit• The city is safe, even for my family

For locals and visitors alike, the 2010 WC was an exceptional experience...

How do we turn the exception into the norm?
