THE head of South Africa's World Cup organizing committee says the upcoming competition will be "the best ever," and proof that Africa can keep its promises.
A day before the opening game, World Cup 2010 chief executive Danny Jordaan said today the lead up to the tournament has brought down several apartheid-era divisions that have plagued this nation.
Jordaan compared the level of excitement to when Nelson Mandela was freed from prison in 1990, and the country's first free elections in 1994.
Jordaan urged fans to head to games early in order to avoids stampedes, like the one Sunday during a friendly between Nigeria and North Korea that injured 16 people.
