South Africa unveils World Cup attractions to the Algarve
6/3/2010

Last Thursday, the South African Embassy held a 100 percent South African event in which acting-Ambassador Angus September gave a brief presentation about the highly-anticipated 2010 FIFA World Cup, followed by a wine tasting of some uniquely-flavoured South African wines and a sample of typical delicacies such as biltong.

This was the first occasion that South Africa had showcased some of the attractions visitors to the country can expect during the World Cup which runs from June 11 to July 12.

Mr September, while describing some of the attractions and the state-of-the art football stadiums, also took the opportunity to stress that the South African Government has gone to unprecedented lengths to ensure the tournament is as trouble-free has possible.

The event was also attended by the Portuguese Women’s football team, who were participating in the Algarve Cup, eventually won by the USA.
