Mayor rejects international fears

Mayor Helen Zille moved to allay international business community fears that the latest political developments would detract from its goals of economic developments.

Zille rebutted international critics who have said that the city would not get its act together to host the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

Zille said Cape Town would not only host the opening ceremony and a semi-final, but would become the party capital of 2010.

Time and money were the only challenges at present.

The planning of 2010 is humming along as best as it can. Zille says just because she asked for a business plan it isn’t enough to unseat the local government.
