Friday, June 11, 2010

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Selebi-Phikwe has styled itself as the closest town outside South Africa to a World Cup-hosting venue. Residents of the town have been caught up in the World Cup fever and plan to cross into Polokwane to feel the vibe and be part of the event even if they do not have match tickets.

Already, Selebi-Phikwe's biggest employer, BCL mine has bought 80 tickets for its employees to watch matches in Polokwane. It is believed that other residents bought tickets online. Ahead of the World Cup, South African flags have been seen hanging on car mirrors while some fans have donned their teams' favourite colours. 

Retired soccer player, Phinda 'Mzala' Mbereki said he will be glued to the screen for the better part of the month-long tournament.
