Thousands of people are suffering from HIV/AIDS. Plus, half of the infected people are in treatment. Plus, Mandela, the president is doing something about it and the government. I need 10 points. \nI'm in a competition. LOL

When Apartheid ended and the African National Congress under Nelson Mandela came into power in South Africa in 1994, the national holidays were changed to days that would be meaningful to all South Africans. \n\n21 March: Human Rights Day\nOn this day in 1960 the police killed 69 people at Sharpeville who were participating in a protest against the pass laws. Many were shot in the back. The carnage made world headlines. Four days later the government banned black political organisations, many leaders were arrested or went into exile. During the Apartheid era there were human rights abuses by all sides; Human Rights Day is but one step to ensure that the people of South Africa are aware of their human rights and to ensure that such abuses never again occur.\n\n27 April: Freedom Day\nThis was the day in 1994 when the first democratic election was held in South Africa, ie an election when all adults could vote irrespective of their race, and the day in 1997 when the new constitution took effect. \n\n1 May: Worker's Day\nMany countries around the world commemorate the contribution made by workers to society on May Day (America doesn't celebrate this holiday because of its communist origins). It has traditionally been a day to protest for better wages and working conditions. Given the role that trade unions played in the fight for freedom, it is unsurprising that South Africa commemorates this day.\n\n16 June: Youth Day\nIn June 1976 students in Soweto rioted in protest against the introduction of Afrikaans as the language of instruction of half their school curriculum, sparking eight months of violent uprisings across the country. Youth Day is a national holiday in honour of all the young people who lost their lives in the struggle against Apartheid and Bantu Education. \n\n9 August: National Women's Day\nOn this day in 1956 some 20,000 women marched to the Union [government] Buildings in Pretoria to protest against a law requiring black women to carry passes. This day is celebrated as a reminder of the contribution made by women to society, the achievements that have been made for women's rights, and to acknowledge the difficulties and prejudices many women still face.\n\n24 September: Heritage Day\nNelson Mandela coined the phrase "rainbow nation" to describe South Africa's diverse cultures, customs, traditions, histories, and languages. This day is a celebration of that diversity.\n\n16 December: Day of Reconciliation\nAfrikaners traditionally celebrated 16 December as the Day of the Vow, remembering the day in 1838 when a group of Voortrekkers defeated a Zulu army at the Battle of Blood River, while ANC activists commemorated it as the day in 1961 when the ANC started to arm its soldiers to overthrow Apartheid. In the new South Africa's it's a day of reconciliation, a day to focus on overcoming the conflicts of the past and building a new nation.

I'm from SA and am totally against Apartheid! that's the reason why the country seems like it's going down! if there were never a Apartheid Regime and everyone had equal opportunity and education, South Africa would be a first world country!

South Africa seems to be doing OK.\n\nIf a nation isn't in turmoil it's not going to make the news, so you have to be pretty knowledgeable in geography and politics to know which of the 160 nations or so are not in the news and are predominantly black.

Errm, before we talk about the AIDS situation or even crime situation in South Africa, we have to put things in perspective.\n\n1. The award wasn't given this year, but 7 years before the event, in 2003.\n2. South Africa were supposed to win in 1999, but I believe a NZ delegate abstained at the last and Germany won. \n3. Sepp Blatter then announced the Cup would be hosted by each different Confederation on rotation, and after Europe in 2006, Africa would get the nod.\n\nSo, South Africa had a lot of emotional pull to get this Cup, in 1999, when they felt they should get it, I believe they were eliminated in the penultimate stage and promised by alot of delegates that they would have support in the next vote.\n\nSo AIDS and crimes, were never going to sway the voting crowd when the vote came up in 2003, it was always going to be South Africa from Africa, as the richest nation with only Egypt or maybe Morocco having a chance.\n\nAnd that's why South Africa got it, but sticking to your theory, I think the World Cup is going to be a boost rather than a bane for Africa. \n\nThe sheer magnitude of the tournament will make highlight the problems of AIDS, crime and others in South Africa. The government will act and FIFA will play it's part in helping this out, in the media relations side.

The world cup takes place every four years, so the next one is in 2010.  It will be in South Africa.  \nHowever, there is the Euro cup in soccer that also takes place every 4 years, but they alternate, so the next one is in 2008, in Austria and Switzerland.

Everyone please wake up! I am from SA and there are no wars\nor such stuff going on here! The only war that is going on here is the war against AIDS and poverty. So please get your facts correct before you try to answer something about another country.
