FIFA World Cup trophy reaches in SA

CAPE TOWN: South African Football Association President Kirsten Nematendani said on Wednesday the arrival of the FIFA World Cup trophy in South Africa was another step towards the country hosting the first tournament on African soil.

The solid gold trophy has toured almost all the countries in Africa since September and arrived from Lesotho on Tuesday amid tight security at Cape Town International Airport.

2010 Organising Committee CEO Danny Jordaan said the trophy represented the hope of all the teams competing for glory and spells the end of doubt in South Africa’s ability to host the tournament.
