World Cup spending criticised
South Africa’s poor sidelined by major spending in this year’s football tournament.
Published On 8 Jun 2010

Despite ongoing debate over the strength or weakness of economic gains from the World Cup for ordinary South Africans, many football fans, both rich and poor, hope it will bring other benefits.
