This Friday, public servants in the North West will give their suits and
ties a break, and put on Bafana Bafana sportswear. This will be in response to
a recent call by Premier Edna Molewa to the people of the province to show
support and passion for both our national team and football as we approach
2010.
During her State of the Province Address, Molewa urged the people of the
North West, both within and outside the public service, to wear Bafana Bafana
jerseys every last Friday of the month until the beginning of the FIFA World
Cup matches in 2010.
The Premierâs call is part of the provincial governmentâs objective to
create and sustain public awareness for the forthcoming 2010 World Cup and to
garner support for the national soccer team.
Meanwhile the provincial government has expressed satisfaction with regards
to its preparations for hosting the confederations cup. The upgrading of the
Royal Bafokeng Stadium, in line with FIFA requirements, is going according to
plan. The stadium is currently being upgraded from a 39 000 seater to a 45 000
seater.
The provincial government is confident that the people of the North West
will support the confederations cup and also heed the call by the Premier to
wear Bafana Bafana sportswear on the last Friday of every month.
