FIFA Vendors Criticism
Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, with modern design, is one of the World Cup matches in South Africa.
Name the new stadium is built at a cost of U.S. $ 450 was taken from the name antiaparteid activist
and hero of the poor blacks.
But the number of people in South Africa said the memory of Mabhida trampled by those who use the stadium to repel those who are poor.
"You should name the stadium it was PW Botha, an oppressor-and not Moses Mabhida, our figures. This contempt for him," said John Mzimela, who made a living by selling ice cream.
Regulations adopted world soccer's governing body, FIFA to host country is not there another
vendor in addition to official trading partners are allowed to sell their products at the World Cup
stadium arena. Clement Zulu, who sells ice cream for 25 years,
accused the police of Durban and in charge of the stadium is not fair to the poor.
"Employers who do not need the money rich, not like us, it is allowed to sell here, they can pay
whatever it takes to sell permits," he said.
'That poor poor-added'
Any party who is not an official partner must submit to the city government permission to trade. Those who violate the provisions that deal with prison or fines.
Host, FIFA and the local committee shall determine the restrictions to trade places around the stadium and the area is essential during this
tournament. Stadium managers refused to provide feedback
related vendors this comment but FIFA said they had to protect the official sponsors of the "marketing noise" by those who want to make
profits from this tournament without paying duty.
But many traders said they did not even know how to ask permission.
"This is all just a warning that the rich will be richer and the poor poorer added," said Mkhize
Nhanhla ice cream seller.
He says his hope that the World Cup can help their lives, immediately faded.
'Bad Guy'
South Africa spends billions of dollars to improve airports, new hotels and stadiums in nine cities
where the matches take place.
Jabulane Ngubane, also a street vendor, said the World Cup to threaten the life of his family.
"The police chased us from the stadium like chasing criminals," said Ngubane, who sells drinks.
He lives in Pietermaritzburg and working in Durban. He had to travel about 80 km and came
home once a week to support his family. Ngubane has 13 children and before the World Cup he earns approximately USD 300 000 a day
from selling the results.
Consequently Ngubane annoyed with this world soccer tournament.
"I'll be glad when all this ends soon, or the police to allow us to sell so I can feed my children," he said.
