President Zuma Prays for South Africans to be “Good” During the Word Cup
No, the World Cup is not a blessing for South Africa. It is, in the long term, a huge tragedy. But the vast majority of people do not think long-term. They live for the short-term thrill, they cannot see beyond the hype and excitement and the supposed financial windfall (and even in this they will be disappointed, for it is not going to be the financial windfall so many think it will be).
Post-World Cup – that is what is of concern to thinking South Africans. The build-up, over the past few years, has meant that the ANC/Communist Party leadership of the country has had to behave itself – and even so the country has earned the reputation of being the most violent in the world outside of a war zone. How much worse, then, is it going to be once they no longer have to even try to behave for the world’s media and when a fickle world has already moved on to other matters?
