According to Rasool’s office, development on public transport, hotels and infrastructure is going smoothly. This is all part of preparation for the 2010 World cup.
Cape Town has long been a favourite to host some of the World Cup fixtures, because of its beautiful scenery, including Table Mountain, the Atlantic Ocean and Robben Island, all of which will be the backdrop of semi-finals during the 2010 tournament.
