We know all the negative perceptions out there ... It's about nation-branding of South Africa with a new image.
This is very special for the city. Port Elizabeth has built up a reputation of being able to host big international events. This goes to show that this host city has marketed itself well ... and the girls will be ambassadors for their countries and South Africa. They will go back taking a good message h...

I think that the IOC will be under pressure to seriously consider an African bid and part of that of course is a highly successful 2010 Fifa World Cup that will increase that pressure. We understand the importance of a successful World Cup in our country.
