good to hear oddo. I know some south african birds who tell some pretty incredible stories about their parents living through the apartheid years. Being tied up, beaten etc. I have to think South Africa is the furthest along as far as the whole 'civilized' thing is concerned.
I've been to south africa and had no problem at all there. but i have my doubts if they can handle a raelly big footie tournie.
i know fifa want to spread the game round the world but at least make things safe for the players and fans first
