A World Cup Destination: Krugersdorp

29 Oct 2009

With the FIFA Soccer World Cup almost upon us, there’s understandable panic from organisers. Will the Durban Stadium sky-ride and the Gautrain be safe? Will Mugg and Bean in Sandton City offer proper laptop plug points for thousands of Austro-Prussian tourists wanting to Skype their spouses and convince them of fidelity?

Amongst the commotion, one city isn’t stirring because it’s been ready for centuries: Krugersdorp.


When tourists tire of visiting the same malls and theme restaurants they visit in San Diego, Seoul and Birmingham, it’ll be time to hit some alternative sights.

Just set the rental car’s GPS for the City of the Near Future. Entry is free to everyone, even other South Africans who haven’t ventured further West than the Bryanston Organic Market.

See you at the pool hall. (More Inside Snoop webisodes at Vuzu.)

    Spectacular. Hope the Italians are drawn in a group near K-dorp. It will astonish them.

    CBGB – nothing like a Hot Rock and being ignored at the Missouri Spur to un-diva an Italian striker.

    Hi Brendan,

    Great set of videos.

    btw.. My name is Mathew, I run http://worldcup2010.dzcus.com. A free crowdsourced Q&A site on the worldcup2010 in south africa.

    I came your twitter profile from a poll we are running on South Africa’s best peeps.
    You where nominated as one of the peeps to follow.

    Now great peeps know other great peeps, so it would be great if you could also contribute on who you think are the South African’s to follow. Btw.. please note that nomination is not enough to get on the final list. You will also need to get people to vote for you, but this can be really easily done by you tweeting out to your followers and asking them to vote for you.

    More on the poll here: http://bit.ly/1XZ5s6

    thanks,

    Mathew
