Technical Co-operation (GTZ) for East African Peace Caravan
23 February 2009
Sport and Recreation South Africa is partnering with the German organisation
GTZ and several South African and East African non-governmental organisation
(NGOs) in bringing the excitement and value of the 2010 Football World Cup to
several countries in East Africa.
The project, called the Peace Caravan, will kick off in early March in
Kigali, Rwanda and travel through Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania before
heading back to Rwanda, and will feature events such as football games, theatre
and musical performances. Some of the participants from the Peace Caravan will
hopefully come to South Africa during or before the Confederation Cup.
The Peace Caravan offers a unique opportunity to create cross-cultural
understanding and friendship between nations, and for South Africa to promote
the World Cup as an African event being hosted by the country.
