We did it!!
Wow! We learnt to sing in so many languages over the last month!!!!! Our office was often crowded with competing supporters singing their hearts out. What a wonderful atmosphere it was.
We did not have one single complaint from any client over the entire period! Well done South Africa!
All the tears, the joy and overwhelming pride that we all felt over the last month has faded slightly and we have to grudgingly face a normal working day in South Africa.
But actually nothing shall be normal again for us here. The entire world has had the opportunity to look at us in a completely new light and I am convinced that we shall reap the rewards for many years to come. Furthermore I think each and every South African abroad was able to hold their head up high feel the utmost pride and could not but help spread good news about us. We have raised the world’s awareness and it is now our chance to hold it and nurture it forever.
Congratulations to Spain and every team for making this the best World Cup ever.

Here just a few quotes from us and our clients:
ERROL (front desk) clients World cup comments:
"Fabulous spirit in general; great service from us and everyone else; and best place to be was in Cape Town."
Martina’s (German customer liaison) clients World cup comments:
"Really enjoyed the big celebration of the last weeks, great world cup!" What’s next South Africa? Stefan"
"Ein Dankeschön an SA als Gastgeber! Wir fanden die WM super toll!! Nur schade, dass nicht mehr afrikanische Mannschaften weitergekommen sind…. Simone"
"I loved the Fan walk and the vibe in Cape Town! Doris"
"Well done South Africa-you are the actual winner of the games! Peter"
"What a colorful and exciting World Cup. I think I will even miss the Vuvuzelas waking me up in the middle of the night. Martina"
Linda's (customer liaison) clients World cup comments:
- "The world came to a standstill in witnessing the event in Africa"
- “it united different nations around the globe"
- "The event brought joy to business sectors were everyone could be seen trying to make a sell to things we offer in Mzansi"
- "Hotels, car hires, restaurants, airports etc were busy nonstop - fan fest were so full of enthusiasm with different races watching the beautiful game"
- Lynda: "I met a lot of clients and their friends who were so happy with Around About Cars Services"
O’Brian’s (customer liaison) clients World cup comments:
"Definitely surpassed expectations, the power, transport and the general atmosphere were just excellent! I spoke to a first time visitor on our way to office… they were amazed at how beautiful South Africa is especially Cape Town said they would definitely come back"
Beaton (front desk) clients World cup comments:
"I think the World Cup was a success in uniting and entertaining people. I gave Mr Stolz a lift to the airport on Tuesday afternoon and he said that Cape Town is a wonderful city; the people are so friendly and helpful. He also said there was a huge difference comparing to what the Western Media report about violence, living conditions and crime in Africa. He enjoyed every moment here."
Geoff Higgo (owner) overheard some tourists:
"Seeing the long queue of Germans outside the PAULANER BRAUHAUS in the Waterfront, a passerby asked a well dressed up German fan, what was so special about the Brauhaus? The fan looked amazed that he should ask such a question and then quickly answered “This is Germany………. in South Africa!!!” No need for a German embassy :-)
Monika Moser (owner - from Germany):
“This world cup was just another reason that makes me proud to have chosen South Africa as my home"
Ray Selokela (owner):
“The world cup was indeed a success and put SA on the Map. Bill Clinton refused extra security and VIP seats in Rustenburg stadium. He felt so safe; he sat with the ordinary people in track suits nogal… Can you believe it? That would never happen anywhere in the world. Our police were also fantastic. There was a special court to deal with unruly fans and hooligans immediately. If we can apply ourselves the same way moving forward, I promise this country is destined for bigger things. We just need to look at each other with the same eyes during the world cup. Can you imagine, Onthatile, Leya, Janna, Ferris (-all children) etc… all growing without our previous prejudices? The future is bright…VIVA SA, VIVA AFRICA, VIVA PEACE!
