World Cup advice: Shop around to get the best deals
The South African Government last week denied claims that visitors to South Africa are being overcharged to book hotel rooms during the World Cup this year following accusations of "price-gouging". The denial was based on the results of a month-long study into the rates of nearly 2,500 properties during the tournament by Grant Thornton.
The survey showed that most World Cup accommodation prices had increased but by a reasonable amount and that in most cases the price increase was less than 50% and while it isn't nice, the feeling that you are being taken advantage of, can you really blame business in South Africa putting up prices, if there is the demand?

World Cup Debate: High Hopes And Faint Fears Welcome Sven-Goran Eriksson To Ivory Coast
The appointment of Swedish Sven-Goran Eriksson – a name Francophone Ivorians still stammer to pronounce right – comes to confirm the discreet rumours that have been animating the local press some days back.
With pain and regret still in some hearts over the failure to capture Guus Hiddink, many Ivorians may get comfort from the appointment of an alternative heavyweight coach.
The 62-year-old Eriksson, heavily robust with club and national team experience arduously collected across three decades, takes over a team many pundits say is sick with an undiagnosed ailment.
The Elephants of Ivory Coast should be a dream squad for any tactician to take, owing to their wealth of stars. It ought to be like giving a new, sharp chisel to a carpenter to work with. But what we have noticed so far is that successive coaches have been unable to carve out a reputation commensurate with the awesome line-up the team boasts of.
What’s wrong then? Sven-Goran Eriksson’s biggest task will be to answer that question, within the short time he will be sojourning in the Ivory Coast.
New to Africa, the former England and Mexico coach will have to adapt to the work climate where national coaches are sometimes subjected to pressures not only from the FA but the government. And also, to face fans who won't be able to comprehend when things don’t go right as soon as they want.
Placed in Group-G alongside Brazil, Portugal and North Korea, Ivory Coast may need a miracle to survive the group stage, and that miracle may descend from above via the new messiah that the west African nation has just acquired.
Well, the FA puts it clear to Eriksson: “Make us fare honourably at the World Cup. Even if we fail, it shouldn’t be a humiliating one.” No fan on the streets of Abidjan, Ivory Coast’s capital wants to hear that.
The people yearn to see the Didier Drogba-led squad pound on and pierce Brazil and Portugal and advance as far as they can. "No need paying Eriksson millions if he’ll be there only not to make us fail woefully".
But the former Goteborg, Benfica,
After diagnosing the Elephants' 'cancer', Eriksson will have to tackle the known gems such as lack of fighting spirit, weak defence, dispersing midfield and an attack already fully studied by a number of football teams.
Secondly, Eriksson will have to impose his charming personality to bring unity and cohesion to a divided Ivorian team. The pro-Drogbas and the pro-Yaya Toures ought to bow for the new coach and with hearts open, imbibe and execute his directives.
Eriksson’s success in Ivory Coast does not wholly depend on him, his destiny here partly lies in the hands of the FA, the players and the fans.
World Cup 2010: Soccer City To Officially Open With Nedbank Cup Final
The World Cup final will get its first action in the domestic cup competition.
The 2010 Nedbank Cup final will be the official opening match of the magnificent World Cup venue, Soccer City Stadium.
This was confirmed by Premier Soccer League CEO, Kjetil Siem, at the press conference launch and last 32 draw of the Nedbank Cup held in Sandton yesterday evening.
The Nedbank Cup is South Africa’s premier cup competition, and can be equated to the FA Cup in England or the Copa del Rey in Spain.
Last year’s final between Moroka Swallows and Pretoria University saw the re-opening of the historicRand Stadium , and this year it will be the turn of the stunning new World Cup final venue, Soccer City.
“The Nedbank Cup is the last competition we have to show the world that we can in fact successfully host the biggest sporting event in the world,” said Siem at the press conference.
“And there’s no better way to showcase our product to the world than by playing the Nedbank Cup in the same venue that will host the World Cup almost seven weeks later.”
The calabash shape and the 89,000 seats which will be available during the World Cup will allow the Johannesburg venue on the outskirts of Soweto to shine as a fine example of the newly built stadia throughout the country.
“I’m confident we will pull it off and mark the final countdown to the World Cup in spectacular fashion as well as being part of a special moment in the history of South Africa,” Siem concluded.
