It could have been a brilliant opportunity for the whole continent, but after few months from the final coronation of Spain and the switching off the floodlights, we all are now deeply disappointed.
A recent report published by the Oseo-Oeuvre, a Swiss nonprofit organization, says that South-African Government burnt more than 4 billion euros instead of the 241 million estimated.
Yes, it was also a beneficial effect to the local economy and employment, but just during the period of the building sites opened. Only the five biggest building companies have seen their turnover increasing.
At the end of that big circus, FIFA was the big winner with 2,4 billion euros (twice that Germany 2006), not bad at all for a not-for-profit organization and that's even more deplorable from a (Corporate) Social Responsibility point of view.
Different was the closing budget for South Africa, with a 2,1 billion euro loss and no new jobs for African people. The only inheritance left are the new (and too expensive) plants, but will African people really use it?
