Who's going to win the World Cup?

New_Image

This summer all eyes will be on South Africa, host of the 2010 World Cup. But what impact will the event have on the country? Will South Africa emerge victorious thanks to increased investment and a boost in national pride? Or will the tournament exacerbate social divisions in one of the world's most unequal countries?

Who's going to win the World Cup?
Join War on Want for a panel discussion and reception that will look beyond the fanfare of the South Africa 2010 World Cup to explore who really benefits from global sporting events.

This event is FREE but it is essential to RSVP due to limited space.
