Some take-outs:
- FIFA: the preparations are ready. We need to communicate that to the people.
- SABC: we want to communicate a simple message: your front seat to the event. Where-ever you are, we will give you a signal.
- SAT: launched Diski dance campaign 2 days ago domestically. South Africans should learn the dance.
- RETOSA: We will leverage whole of Southern Africa to market the event.
- GCIS: Government supports the event because it gives us the opportunity to unite South Africans and to use the opportunity to market SA and the continent to the world.
- SAPS: we expect challenges from a language and cultural perspective with regards to the international visitors. We will be bringing police from other countries here to patrol in their uniforms and to assist.
- Dept of Transport: Bits of the Gautrain will be ready
- David Smith: international media are still shocked when coming to South Africa for the first time. International media hates being fobbed off and not getting through to a media office when making an enquiry.

We need to engage management vigorously in the campaigns to showcase the communication and marketing skills that Africa posseses through this show piece.So that their buy-in can unleash the potential skills, experience and experties of communicators in the country across sectors. Furthermore, involvement of the targeted audience and beyond would ensure that our messages reach audience far and wide. Ultimately, Dr. Khoza and others will then continue to feel the 2010 world cup vibe in town.
