The viewing areas, expected to create at least 576 000 viewing opportunities and 540 direct jobs, will enable rural people to be part of the soccer spectacular in line with the South African government’s vision of making every South African part of the 2010 World Cup experience,” the department said last week. ??
The VVAs would form part of the department’s comprehensive rural development programme (CRDP), an all encompassing strategy to make rural areas vibrant, equitable and sustainable.??Unemployed people in these rural areas would benefit as they would be employed to provide security, cleaning, technical and site management services, the department said. ??
The Independent Development Trust was the implementing agency and had acquired the necessary equipment, namely, a projector, screen, speakers, amplifier and satellite dish for each site.?? After the soccer tournament is over the community will use the VVA for educational and recreational purposes.
