WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The budget for the 2010 Fifa world cup is taking shape. And, at more than R19.3-billion, it gets bigger all the time.
Finance Minister Trevor Manuel boosted the formal budget from the R4.1 announced in his 2006 budget to R17.4-billion today. That includes R8.4-billion that the national government will contribute to the stadiums being built for the event and R9-billion for transport and related infrastructure.
But Treasury officials told the Sunday Times that did not include the contributions cities would make to add the “bells and whistles” to their stadiums, and other costs.
Additional costs will include:
* An estimated R400-m from the City of Cape Town, about R300 from Durban and undisclosed amounts from East London and Port Elizabeth to upgrade their stadium plans;
* R666-million for the Safety and Security Department's policing plan;
* A still unknown but necessarily huge bill to upgrade the broadcasting network to the high definition standard required by FIFA;
* The upgrading of airports to cope with 2010 crowds;
* R150-million from the Department of Arts and Culture for the opening and closing ceremonies;
* R337-million for a “legacy project” to consolidate the gains of the event;
* R25-million for the training and management of the volunteer programme;
* R17-million to mobilise communities.
Manuel said the Treasury had agreed with municipalities that the stadium budget first announced in his October medium-term outlook would not increase.
“These agreements set a firm precedent – that we must go out of our way to ensure a successful tournament and a lasting legacy beyond 2010, but fiscal prudence and sound budgeting principled must be adhered to at all times,” he said.
