When they were given the hosting rights to the tournament few years ago, there was much joy and excitement all over the continent, but recent events - including the uncertainty over the completion of the several stadia across the country - have seen the celebrations dampened considerably.
The World Cup is an event designed to foster unity amongst nations - it is an event that seeks to bring peace. When a potential host country of the tournament begins to exude characteristics that are contrary to the spirit of the game, then there is really a cause for concern. Such is the case with the recent, tragic violence that strikes the country.
I, being an African, am definitely in favor of the tournament coming over to our continent, but I would not be particularly inclined towards hosting it amidst the current social ambience that prevails in South Africa at present.
