Host cities to kick off 2010 countdown

The eight 2010 Soccer World Cup host cities will hold celebrations to mark the beginning of the 1 000-day countdown to the event, the City of Tshwane said on Thursday. President Thabo Mbeki is expected to make an address at celebrations taking place at the Union Buildings on Friday — which marks exactly 1 000 days until the soccer spectacle kicks off.
