Obama Safari – Silly Gimmick or Actually Interesting?

July 14th, 2009 by admin

Hotels, restaurants, tour companies, safari camps and even the vineyards are all bracing up for this huge event. And there is no question that money will be made, jobs created and the country’s tourism industry gets invaluable attention in the world media. But the questions I ask are:Will South Africa actually be able to pull it off and create a lasting good image of itself as a family friendly, safe and responsible travel destination? Will the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup be good for South Africa in the long run?

– UPDATE– All votes have now been counted and it is now clear who won the South African election. ANC with Jacob Zuma won 65.9% of the votes, which is a huge victory, but not as huge as some expected. The ANC did not get the 2/3 of the votes as they hoped for and would have needed for the mandate to change the constitution. The DA got 16.66% of the votes.
