The bid book for our bucks

Safa's Long Overdue Debt Finally Picked Up By You
English monolingualism gains the upper hand (Photo Archive)

The Bid Book used by the South African Football Association to win the rights to host the 2010 Fifa World Cup has been secreted away from the public eye for years now. Detailing the initial projected government expenditure on stadiums and other World Cup related infrastructure, the agreements signed between the South African government and much more, it makes for very interesting reading. The Mail & Guardian now makes it available for public consumption.
