The BMF will host a corporate dinner on 4 June 2010 at the Emperors Palace, Johannesburg, to discuss the socio-economic impact of the World Cup on South Africa, addressed by Sepp Blatter, president of FIFA. The theme of the evening will be explored through a programme featuring a number of people in business, sports and politics updating the strides made in transforming South Africa; managerial leadership and skills development initiatives of the BMF for more black participation in the economy; and achievements and challenges in mentorship and youth development.
The 10 official FIFA Fan Parks, sponsored by MTN, have been carefully selected to ensure accessibility - in the case of Nelspruit and Polokwane, the venues are within walking distance of the stadiums.
