- LONDON: Smiling and at ease, President Jacob Zuma has told reporters at Wembley Stadium that South Africa was “ready, if not more than ready” to host the World Cup.
On his first state visit to the United Kingdom, Zuma said on Thursday his country has “worked hard to ensure the World Cup comes to South Africa ... And it is coming.” Zuma also said the country's readiness included safety and security, the biggest concern for foreign travelers.
He said visitors “will be welcomed to South Africa safely and leave even safer.”
