"OK, I get Charlize Theron presenting as she's a glamorous (ex)South African who speaks Afrikaans and English. Jerome Valcke is a FIFA bigwig and a French speaker (like a lot of Africa). Haile Gebrselassie is an African legend. Ntini is South African. Smit is the Springbok Martin Johnson. Booth is representing the new generation of S.Africa sports. Nelson Mandela is Nelson Mandela. WHY WILL BECKHAM BE THERE????!!"
