South Africa's 2010 Cup challenge
A ceremony is being held in Germany to officially hand over the World Cup to South Africa, which in 2010 will become the first African country to host the championship. The BBC's Mohammed Allie looks at what needs to be done.

2010 World Cup Budget:
5bn rand for stadiums
3.5bn rand other capital investment
5.2bn rand for upgrading airports
3.5bn rand for better roads and railways
(7 rand = $1)
Do you think South Africa will be ready to stage the 2010 World Cup?

Yeah I think they will too, unfortunately there seem to be a lot of unsure minds out there who just don't think South Africa will be ready in time.

Apparently they've got to do a lot of work, on roads, stadiums, transport etc, they even have to (I think) not only upgrade stadiums but build a few too. This is why some people are a bit concerned to whether they will be ready in time.

You guys seem to be concerned about something you know nothing of.We have already started with the preparations and if it's money you think we don't have to do the job,well consider yourselves wrong.And l think the only reason you doubt us is because we are in Africa.Don't think for a second that other countries are better than us.Believe South Africa can do the job just like Germany did it.So relax and start worring about stuff that really matters.
