• “I think as South Africans, we need to remember that we are a teenager in the world of nations and for us this has been a proud moment since 1994 and from the economic point of view all the investment was money well spent,” Gordhan said at a FIFA press conference.
He is adamant that for South Africa, the tournament’s benefits will not only be seen in terms of economic legacy but could help the country increase its delivery capacity while demonstrating to the world its ability to host major events.
The national government spent more than R33 billion over a period of four years on infrastructure and preparation for the World Cup. Close to R12 billion was spent on stadia infrastructure with another R11 billion spent on transport and R1.5 billion spent on event broadcast and telecommunications.
