Cape Town ‘heart’ soccer
Cape Town Tourism, the city’s public-private partnership to drive tourism in the city, certainly impressed with its pro-active, post FIFA World Cup 2010, report back to stakeholders. Cape Town Tourism CEO Mariette du Toit-Helmbold talks to Bizcommunity.com about the local industry’s strategy pre-and post world cup and why she believes disappointing occupancy levels doesn’t tell the full story.
World cup: newspaper editors innovate amid circulation decline
The 2010 FIFA World Cup has been the biggest South African news story so far this year.

Kulula answers FIFA with new ad
Kulula ad agency King James chose to respond to FIFAs’ legal threats with another tongue-in-cheek ad that is running in the Sunday papers today.
The ad looks similar to the original that caused FIFA and its lawyers to lose their sense of humour over the use of, amongst other things, the national flag, footballs and vuvuzelas in, gulp, combination.
The Mercury, IOL quotes MarkLives, forgets to credit us
The Mercury and IOL finally caught up with the bloggers and the tweeps. It has run a story on its front page on the letter those ridiculous lawyers of FIFA sent budget airline Kulula.com.
