As part of the event we'll be raising awareness about development issues affecting people in South Africa, issues such as:
* As many as 40,000 women could enter South Africa to work as prostitutes during this year's football World Cup, officials have warned (Telegraph)
*At 140 rand (£12.40), even the cheapest tickets for group games are beyond the reach of many people in a country where the average monthly wage is estimated at just over 2,700 rand and tickets for a Premier League match typically costs 20 rand. Among the black population, who make up by far the majority at matches, the monthly average wage is 1,620 rand (Guardian)
*South Africa has 5.7 million people – or 12% of the total population - infected with HIV according to official figures. (Avert)
