World Cup 2010 chief Danny Jordaan has issued a rallying cry to the South African public as the final countdown to the tournament begins.
The event kicks off on June 11 but slow domestic ticket sales have caused concern among organisers.
Jordaan said that everything is now in place for a successful tournament but added: “For five years, we have worked hard. The true image of the next few months before the kick off is rosy. What is needed is greater public enthusiasm for the event.
“The country needs each and every South African in their workplaces and their communities to stand up and decide what they are doing to welcome the world in 2010.
“Every South African must ask himself or herself: ‘What am I doing to be a good host of the 2010 World Cup?’
“From now until the end of the tournament, every South African must play their part in ensuring we come together as one nation to deliver the best World Cup ever.
“This is the year when as a nation, we will open our doors, hearts and sporting spirits to the world. This is our time. This is our year.”
