2010 WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA

The official mascot for the 2010 FIFA World Cup is Zakumi, a leopard with green hair. His name comes from "ZA", the international abbreviation for South Africa, and "kumi", a word that means "ten" in various African languages. The mascot's colours reflect those of the host nation's playing strip - yellow and green.

On behalf of the South African Mission in the Czech Republic, I have pleasure in forwarding to you a web link to a comprehensive World Cup Information Guide packed with everything you need to know about the FIFA World Cup to be hosted in South Africa during June - July this year. It is filled with information and I am sure it will make your planning much easier and add greatly to your enjoyment of the event. It will also be very useful if you plan to visit South Africa at any other time - as I would enthusiastically recommend. With very best wishes.
