Durban is the only city that decided to bid. Hence Durban.

Awesome!

 

[Pooky]

YAY

 

[LancelotSA]

Poor ratepayers

The great thing for us is that the city that wins the bid is likely to be able to argue for a far larger share of the national budget....

 

[Lino]

Congrats Durban people!

Good chance Durbs will get as well.... if they play the "Africa's turn to host Olympics" card and get the support of all African countries ..'im sure the Asians will back Africa as well...

 

[LancelotSA]

Yeah, and when you lose, what happens to money spent on the bid?

Um.... it is spent...

 

[Polymathic]

No surprise there

Ha ha you haven't even presented your case and you are resting it

Not sure what court you have been watching but usually if you are expecting the verdict to go your way you need to at least provide a tiny bit of evidence. And just out of interest, it would be more accurate to say poor South Africans as a whole as it is very likely that the government would direct a fair chunk of it's budget towards the city hosting the Olympics.

An article in the Argus today says that a Durban has an airport....welldone.
