The Fairy Godmother, Donna McCallum, has a firm opinion of South Africa’s 2010 vision particularly of the Soccer World Cup. She urges others to join her in becoming active members of the South African community, and in helping her steer the country towards a clearer dream. McCallum is the author of The Fairy Godmother’s Guide to Getting What You Want.
As a Fairy Godmother helping individuals and companies to get clear on their dreams, goals and visions; I am very cognisant that we have not defined a clear vision for South Africa post 2010 or certainly not one that I, as a South African Citizen, am aware of. And without a clear vision that can be translated between government, business, civil society and the average man on the street we are in danger of running around like a chicken with its head chopped off.The 2010 FIFA World Cup has given us a goal as a nation – it has provided the impetus to invest in much needed infrastructure such as roads, it has created jobs and is a brilliant marketing tool for this country to catapult our tourism to even greater levels. As we herald in the New Year the country is experiencing the positivity, upliftment and energy that comes with reaching a goal. 2010 is a great year for South Africa, people are saying.
