How will the World Cup benefit the poor?
The poor will benefit from improved infrastructure and services – FIFA, the SA government, the Local World Cup Organising Committee and the City place a strong emphasis of the “legacy benefits” of the World Cup. The general economic improvements mentioned above will have a ripple effect – arts and crafts, entertainment, tourism and the service industry are all likely beneficiaries. Public Viewing Areas (later) should provide economic opportunities for local people.
