The FIFA World Cup, Human Rights Goals and the Gulf Between Richard Peltz-Steele Abstract With Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 on the horizon, the process for selecting hosts for the World Cup of men’s football has been plagued by charges of corruption and human rights abuses. FIFA celebrated key developing economies with South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014. But amid the aftermath of the global financial crisis, those sitings surfaced grave and persistent criticism of the social and economic efficacy of sporting mega-events. Meanwhile new norms emerged in global governance, embodied in instruments such as the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and the Sustainable Development Goals. These norms posit that commercial aims can be harmonized with socioeconomic good. FIFA seized on the chance to restore public confidence and recommit itself to human exultation in sport, adopting sustainability strategies and engaging the architect of the UNGP to develop a human rights policy.

  • The South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup: a Look Back: Perceptions of Its Impact on Tourism in South Africa
    International Review of Management and Marketing ISSN: 2146-4405 available at http: www.econjournals.com International Review of Management and Marketing, 2021, 11(4), 49-58. The South Africa 2010 FIFA World Cup: A Look Back: Perceptions of its Impact on Tourism in South Africa Tinashe Chuchu* School of Business Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. *Email: [email protected] Received: 06 May 2021 Accepted: 08 July 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/irmm.11593 ABSTRACT Africa’s first FIFA World Cup sparked a series of scholarly work mostly conducted prior to this event. This phenomena is still relevant today with many unanswered questions. This research therefore investigates and examines literature on how the 2010 FIFA World Cup is perceived almost a decade later. A qualitative approach was adopted based on secondary data sources and grey literature. Contextual information was gathered from popular data bases that include Science direct, Ebsco host, Emerald and Google scholar. A total of 20 studies on both tourism in South Africa and the 2010 FIFA World Cup published between 2004 and 2019 were examined and systematically presented and discussed. Recurring trends based on review of literature were identified. The destination image theory and the destination concept were used to comprehend international visitors’ attitudes and their interpretation of South Africa as a travel destination. One of key findings was that the crime in South Africa, before, during after the World Cup ranks highest in terms of tourism deterrence. However, the event was generally perceived positive as a fairly positive success with room for socio-economic improvement.

  • South Africa's Infrastructure and Legacy After the 2010 FIFA
    South Africa’s Infrastructure and Legacy After the 2010 FIFA World Cup and What It means for an Emerging Economy Speech by Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan Financial Times Future and Legacy Dinner hosted by the International Marketing Council 22 July 2010 Chairperson of the International Marketing Council, Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the International Marketing Council, Ladies, gentlemen and colleagues, We gather this evening less than two weeks after the final match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. We also meet four days after Nelson Mandela celebrated his 92nd year on this planet, 67 of which he has selflessly dedicated to bringing about a free South Africa, and since 1994, the creation of a better life for the majority of South Africans. 1 Both the life of Mr Mandela and the hosting of the World Cup share one a common thread: the destruction of old myths and the creation of new realities and possibilities. A careful reading of Mandela’s life story shows him to be a destroyer of myths and a creator of new realities. When Mandela was sent to jail forty eight years ago, he arrived on Robben Island a man who posed a serious threat to the political powers of the time. Prison guards treated Madiba and his fellow prisoners as enemies of the state. Over time, Mandela and his colleagues managed to destroy this myth and helped some of the prison guards to see a new reality, a reality that their prisoners were just as human as themselves and that they were fighting for a just cause.

  • THE SOCIO-CULTURAL IMPACT of the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP™ on CAPE TOWN RESIDENTS by STEPHEN DAVID VISSER Thesis Submitted in Fulfi
    THE SOCIO-CULTURAL IMPACT OF THE 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP™ ON CAPE TOWN RESIDENTS by STEPHEN DAVID VISSER Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Technology: Sport Management in the Faculty of Business at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology Supervisor: Prof K Swart Co-supervisor: Mr B Knott Mowbray, July 2015 CPUT copyright information The thesis may not be published either in part (in scholarly, scientific or technical journals), or as a whole (as a monograph), unless permission has been obtained from the University ABSTRACT Socio-cultural impact studies of sporting mega-events are very limited and little literature exists on the intangible effects on the residents of the host nation. Nonetheless, several historical examples, such as the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa and the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ in Germany, exist and have demonstrated that sporting mega-events can fuel social cohesion and contribute to the nation-building process. Owing to the complex history of South Africa, it was difficult for residents and stakeholders to pre-determine whether the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ would foster social identity and cohesion in the country or if it would contribute to the entrenched social cleavages and lead to negative nationalism such as xenophobia. For this purpose and to provide a platform for longitudinal studies, this study investigated socio-cultural impacts of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ on host residents living in Cape Town and compared the opinions and attitudes of 400 respondents before and after the event using a spatially based stratified random sampling method.

  • Choreographing Cape Town Through Goema Music and Dance
    CHOREOGRAPHING CAPE TOWN THROUGH GOEMA MUSIC AND DANCE by FRANCESCA INGLESE Each January, members of Cape Town’s sixty-plus minstrel troupes take over the city center with a sweeping wave of sound and color in the annual Minstrel Carnival.1 Known as Tweede Nuwe Jaar (the Second of New Year) — and more controversially as the “Coon Carnival” — the Minstrel Carnival’s origins are oft en linked with the December 1st emancipation processions of the mid-to-late 1800s that celebrated the abolition of slavery in 1834 and also to the annual slave holiday, the one day a year slaves could take off work. Th e parading of troupes, called Kaapse Klopse (Clubs of the Cape) in Afrikaans, on Carnival is also the culmination of a week of celebrations that begins on Christmas Eve with the parading of Christmas Choirs (brass bands) and is followed by the Malay Choir or Nagtroepe (night troupes) parade on New Year’s Eve (Bruinders 2006-7: 109). Together, these multiple practices announce the New Year in Cape Town.2 On the day of Carnival, klopse, that once gathered outside their homes in the bustling streets of District Six and the Bo-Kaap, travel to the city center from their klopskamers (clubhouses) in the dispersed townships on the Cape Flats and suburban areas beyond Cape Town’s City Bowl. Together they traverse the downtown, beginning from the edge of District Six, from which many troupe members and their parents and grandparents were forcibly removed under apartheid’s Group Areas Act (1950). From 2012–2014, I paraded with Th e Fabulous Woodstock Starlites, a forty year old troupe located in Woodstock, one of the older suburbs close to town.
