Deputy Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes that, while driving through the roads of Cape Town and going to the shops and shopping centres, one can see that hundreds of Bafana Bafana jerseys, flags and other merchandise are available to people to buy;
2) also notes that the Cape Argus of 31 May 2010 reported that Adidas said that more merchandise had already been sold in South Africa than in the World Cup in Germany;
3) believes that this economic injection into shops, small traders and informal traders is welcomed and that much more money will be injected into the economy nearer to 11 June 2010 and thereafter; and
4) acknowledges that we as South Africans are blessed to have the 2010 Fifa World Cup here and thanks everybody who played a role in giving this opportunity to South Africa.
Motion agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
