Greenpoint Stadium lights get switched on

I drove through Cape Town's Greenpoint Stadium precinct for the first time in quite a while yesterday and was extremely impressed with the progress made and the hive of activity that is evident in the area. There is little doubt that things will be ready on time!

The stadium is due for handover in December before the final finishing touches, mainly internal are completed.

Last night was the big switch on as the internal lighting was tested for the first time. Below are the spectacular results.

First 2010 World Cup tickets given away

The first 388 seats have been allocated for the 2010 Fifa World Cup! And a Mr M***** is the first person to get a ticket to the final.

In an in-house competition held by First National Bank, currently the sole national sponsor of the event, a total of 388 tickets were given away today. These included tickets to each of the rounds and the 2 given to Mr M****** to the final! The competition is aimed at getting the staff excited about the upcoming event and assisting them in understanding the game itself while at the same time increasing the learning opportunities for the staff in the banking industry.

Now, all we need are some seats for him and is partner to put their bums on!!!!
