Eyes of world on South Africa

World attention will be focused on South Africa as the draw for the 2010 World Cup takes place this evening.

The schedule for the 32-nation tournament will be decided today (December 4th) in Cape Town, something that could increase the level of attention received by the city, which is based around the coastline and low-lying areas below Table Mountain.

Such a situation might particularly entice property buyers who had not previously thought of investing in South African real estate.

Cape Town itself will be one of the host cities for the event and may be a good location for tourist rental - both during the tournament and afterwards - due to the attention it will receive from South Africa's time in the spotlight.

The Daily Telegraph guide to the venues noted tourist attractions include surfing at Llandudno Beach, a cable car up Table Mountain, many museums and colonial buildings, plus a chance to catch a boat to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned.
