South Africa have invested $146 Million to stage the event.
Also there will be 41,000 Police Officers at a cost of $71M
and HiTec equipment etc. including helicopters, planes, 100 B.M.W.'s, mobile command vehicles and 10,000 water cannon at $74M

The final cost including stadia will be close to $4 Billion :o

Anyone fancy going, sounds like a hoot :roll:

Yeah but I saw 'em first! :lol: :lol:

The Company does'nt seem to concentrate on the caravans for some reason? Over here pictures are always of the front of the unit. At least they are showing the view that most other drivers see! ... Or maybe they are comparing backsides :roll: .. 8-)
