So much for the FIFA World Cup creating jobs.
I read a newspaper report earlier this week saying that the Local Organising Committee (LOC) were looking for fifteen thousand volunteers
to help with such tasks as ushering people to their seats, welcoming people at the airport, driving guests around and assisting the media and foreign language speakers.
Volunteers are also needed in such areas as accreditation, computer, logistics, hospitality and management; all jobs requiring specialized skills.
While I have no problem with patriotic South Africans volunteering their services to make the 2010 World Cup a resounding success
I can't help thinking that it's rather strange that the head honchos organizing this event will be making enough money out of it to last them for several lifetimes.
Indeed, if memory serves, enormous amounts of money have already been paid out to the lucky few.
So what's all this about your country needing you to work for free?
