My question from the very beginning is what is going to happen to these stadiums now that the World cup is over. I mean come on – are any of these stations really viable? The only good thing I can see is on a humanitarian level where now there is a much larger awareness of what goes on in Africa. I wouldn’t say they showed all the nitty gritty – but they did do a very good job of marketing. If investments can be made in schools, infrastructure and hospitals from foreign investors – then I think the upheaval and damage done from this event would have well been worth what in my eyes was short of a massacre on the environment.
