2010 World Cup homestay programme
The Soccer World Cup is the largest sporting event in the world and it really will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to be part of this. It will probably be about 64 years before SA could host this again! Being in the hospitality industry, we jumped at the chance to host visitors next year in our home and felt sure that others would also like to participate. So we registered as Distributors for WCSBg5.com, the local organising company, printed off our brochures and then came the task of finding a pamphlet distributor. Done. But were they delivered? Most stats show to expect a 1% return. So we should have had 45 phone calls. And with the opportunity to make a few thousand Rand over the event, probably 90 calls. We got 2.
Does that mean that Randburg residents are truly not interested, or the two calls were the 1% return on 200 deliveries? Which means 4,300 leaflets are lying in a ditch somewhere, or at best gone for paper recycling.
So through this forum, it would be good to know if anyone could act as a host family and earn R750 per night per person for dinner bed and breakfast.
Or at least let us know that they saw a leaflet in their post box.

2010 Accommodation
How ironic! My husband and I discovered yesterday that one of our friends is going to be acting as a host family during the world cup. She gave us a contact number but having seen this entry, please could you send further information as to how the process works, for example must we move out of the property?
THanks,
