Another world event in African Soil

BY DENGA RADZILANI

 

South Africa was the first in Africa to host the world cup and even now it will be the first to host the 2022 Common Wealth Games.South Africa is competing with other countries across the world. All this shows development in this country.

 

The games will take place at Durban in Kwazulu Natal from 18 July to 30 July 2022.It has been said that Moses Madiba Stadium will also be used for some of the games that are going to be played in Common Wealth Games. The slogan of these games is “Ready to inspire.”Durban was chosen to host the Common Wealth Games at the Federation General Assembly in New Zealand. This was announced by the CGF president Prince Tunku. Durban was the only city still standing when other countries pulls out due to economy problems.

 

Many people in South Africa focus more on soccer than any other sports. This happen because soccer is the only popular sport played in the communities and public school that people understand better. Some private school plays other sports even though are still a challenge. South African people don’t know much about the common wealth games. It will be difficult for many people to be part of this games compared to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. People who works at sports department should start to advertise the games that are going to be played .They should also start campaigns to teach the nation so that they can participate in these games.

 

Some of the games that are going to be played are as follows: athletics, badminton, and boxing, cycling mountain bike, hockey, judo, lawn bowls, netball, swimming, wrestling, table tennis and other games. Mukona Tshasinde an actuary student at Wits University these games will contribute in our economy growth for the coming seven year. Other country will bring their business in South African and then they will pay tax .The GDP capacitor will go and it will be good the economy.

 

Many people are wondering whether these games will create long-term or short-term jobs but still it’s hard to tell so far. Business people will create jobs at that specific time even though few might be permanent. “I don’t think it will create many permanent jobs in South Africa because after the Common Wealth Games most of the things being offered will be done” said Mukona. South Africa is in crises of load-shedding, high rate of unemployment and under economy pressure. Hosting this kind of event will boost the country economic and people will end up being employed. The load-shedding problems can be solved and sorted out. People from Ethikwini municipality will have a great chance to be employed because the games are going to take place there.

 

Durban is perfect to host this event regarding that is have good infrastructure .People who will participate in swimming will have an advantage because there is ocean it Durban. Durban is a well classified beautiful place and next to ocean .All this makes it a perfect city to host a huge event.The Common Wealth Games in other countries are unlikely to start in 18 July. The event will start on birthday of the late former South Africa president Nelson Mandela. In other way around they might be honouring the father of the nation madiba. “I think they are honouring Madiba”.The Nelson Mandela day is a well known dates around the world where everyone remember what he have done.

 

There were rumours that South Africa was involved in corruption scandal to get votes to host the World Cup. People are ready are doubting that even the Common Wealth Cup are coming in the right way but that might not be true. Checking all countries that South Africa was competing with it was clear that Durban was going to win. It’s being said that Durban is a classy city and the country economic is not that bad even though is not doing well at the moment. Mukona also said that he think Durban win fair.

 

South African people are honoured and should be grateful to host big event like that. The government also invest money to develop youth who want to be part of the games. The nation should get ready to this great event. This country will always be of the world history.
