2010 Football World cup squads

Durban's preparations for the 2010 Soccer World Cup shifted into a higher gear with the final demolition of the Kings Park Stadium. This paves the way for the construction of the new Senzangakhona Stadium. The stadium is billed to host one of the tourney's semi-finals.

The 70 000-seater Senzangakhona Stadium is expected to be completed in 2009, in time for the Confederation Cup. Elsewhere in the metropole, access roads to the inner city have either been built or are nearing completion.

The end of a bygone era, like a phoenix the new Senzangakhona Stadium will rise. Fears about the city's readiness to host the world cup were put to rest with the preparatory work already underway. The P577 Duffs Road is expcted to ease the traffic conjestion expected for soccer's showpiece. Figures indicate roads around Durban are 90% congested.

S'bu Ndebele, the premier, said the revamped Duffs Road which is also scheduled for completion in 2009, will make life easier for the local people by easing the congestion on both the N2 and the N3.

Bheki Cele, the Transport MEC, said other road infrastructure development projects are also taking place at various places in the province.

However, there was a damper to the enthusiasm for the projects. Rumours abound that Durban will not have an opportunity of staging a curtain raiser to the World Cup by hosting the Confederation Cup in 2009.
