Every day we will be posting short profiles of fellow Cape Town volunteers so we can all meet each other and learn what they do in other functional areas.
hello everybody
i work as a driver
IT&T Volunteer functional area.. Help desk in Datacentric/ Match IT, supporting SMC etc.. it’s quite exciting seeing what you have started since the begin from May up until the 10th June 2010.. To the world cup kicking off, the media people using the resources we have set up for them to bring this event to live!
Is this an official LOC news letter
Hiya
I work in logistics and so far its quite fun as well as hard work. I would like to make a request regarding the mcdonalds food vouchers. If there are anybody out there who is sick of eating mcdonalds everyday, please join me in donating at least one or two small burgers a day to the porest of the poor. What i propose is that gather as much as you can in your various departments and contact Ivan or Claude in the logistics department o that we can collect it after every shift change. I am involved in our church with the soup kitchens as well as two childrens shelters.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any furhter sugestions, my number is 0797840352
You can make a difference in the lives of the poorest of the poor and at the same time allow the world cup to effect them as well.
Thanks
Quentin
Good idea, Quentin. You may get all my vouchers, I will never eat at McDonalds till the end of my life. Tell me, how I can forward the vouchers to you. Maybe you can arrange a postbox in the registration office?
Regards
Manfred

IT & Telecommunication Volunteer at Cape Town Stadium. So far I am having an amazing Soccer World Cup volunteer experience!! =)
Hi All
Im Saadiqah, an Event Logistics Volunteer. I just want to tell Quentin that your voucher donating idea is awesome. If we aren’t tired of Mcdonalds yet, we will get there soon. So I’m sure you’ll get lots of support from our fellow volunteers. Best of Luck.
The volunteers at the training venues do not coldrinks, unless they come to the volunteer centre. Could this be addressed so that cold drinks is delivered to the training venues.
Hello all fellow volunteers, I’m a team leader for spectator support services. I have a great team and this world cup has seen many friendships form, lets continue to make friends and keep in touch.
All volunteers have been doing a great job, well done ALL.
Anyone wanting to form new friendships, feel free to contact me on dias,charmaine23@gmail.com
Hi Charmaine
So do you need anymore spectator guys? I’ve had enough of this boring shuttle management (and I’ve already seen all the games I had tickets for).
Hi Frankh
We always need more spectators to help out, so if you can manage to come and assist us ,you welcome.
Keep the good work going……..
Yes, it was good to help out with the ESP-POR game. Hopefully I’ll be helping our again tomorrow for ARG-GER game.

Hi, I am in transport and is a shuttle manager. What an awesome experience. I am based at the VIP Hotel at the Convention Center.
hi my fellow volunteers i am having good time through this programme but the transport part it irritates me because its late we to go home and having problems with the transport and going home at 1 or 2 that’s not ayoba .whats ayoba is the vourchers that’s ayobal . guyz thanks
What a great perfomance by Ghana. That resembled a hope by an African country on the World Cup hosted on the African Continent.
hi everyone my name is zamile im at airpot welcoming and services so far so good many volunteers are coming in numbers. its very nice experience
Hi There
I am currently working at the Transport Department near the Stadium as a Fleet Manager. I have been there since the end of May. It has been an great experience. The one thing that I have maintained even before I applied to volunteer with FIFA was that I needed to make a positive contribution to my country Mzansi SA. hence my willingness to volunteer. I have met some interesting people from various countries in the world and this has certainly been a positive event for SA. You can mail me anytime.
Hi Jarred you have not given your email address, so that we can keep in touch and lets form new friendship.
Take care, blessings and light your way.
greetings and salutations- this comes from one of the most nb services-transport.
it may not b every one”s preference- but it rocks. thumbs up for Anton,Andrew, and the rest of the transport department.
Alistair L
Greetings.Also worked in transport. Agreed Alistair, a very important component of the swc 2010 engine. Hi Shireen in transport-hope you are still dispatching nicely!!!!!! And key master-enjoy!!!! Hi Alanna!!!!A certain gyuy in management there ( wont mention names but he drops the newspaper every morning) can just cheer up more and remember to say morning and thank you-as Barney the Dinosaur would say, even my daughter knows that!!!!!!!!!!Lol!!!!!!!!!
I work at the Transport Depot with a bunch of wonderful guys and gals there was never a dull day. Playing dominoes was the best I am going to miss that. Well done to all the Volunteers. See you guys in Brazil
What do I hear that a certain mr moon was ‘fired’???What’s happening in transport????
all parking guys well done
Hi, I am a shuttle manager, like Farouk. I am also based at the Westin Grand. For managers we don’t get given a lot of responsibility.
Can someone pls explain to me what happened today at the Volunteer function, no more goody bags and I did not get my certificate as well………………Poor organizing. The amount of certificates should have matched the stipend and goody bag. Then there was no reason for me to stand in a queue for an hour to write my name on a box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what an anti climax to such an esteem world function!!!!!!!!!!! Well done to each and everyone of the volunteers and managers I worked with at the transport depot, and to the few volunteers at the vol. centre that helped, job well done.(Barbara is one of them)
The whole program was a success but as you would expect in the working envaroment ,I want to be honest with who ever reads this ,many of us started noticing some some racism issues some volunteers wanted to appeal better than the others and some thought that they are lifetime employees of FiFa and started doing Frauds and lifting each others race I dont want to comment about the last days in my working envaroment they were totaly terrible too much racism I even left with my head gettin a littel dissy cause I had to up there and see Sakhi for the incorrect number of days I have worked cause I never missed a day and some of the so called team leaders volunteers cheated some days absent and mark themselves present since they are some-times the ones who have to go diliver the registers to the admin volunteers how does that happen If want to do it in the have a close relation with your acting manager…….however it was fun working in the Accreditation and I salute Mr Shiraaz Moosa for carrin out Excellent work but the some of the staff doesn’t diserve to work with him .
Yes it’s like a certain boss in transport who one day just brought his god daughter to the depot-the next day she had accreditation. Rumous has it that she was 17 years old. I mean where is the fairness and justice in all the applicants who did not make the cut yet went through the official application procedures??? I ‘blame’ whoever ( a person somewhere in the stadium itself) gave the go ahead for the accreditation knowing she did not follow the procedure. It’s still who you know in the end. And she got numbers which we did not even have-like VIP areas.Nepotism stinks-just check out the transport depot and the bosses( some of them)-they got tickets, but did not share with the workers-not thinking that beyond the green uniform we actually have more titles and is also known in the global village than what they will ever have/be. Ke nako-I was there and I am glad that I could do my bit for my country. It really makes you proudly South African.
Hi All.
I had a great experience and will treasure it for always.
I want to agree will Elron and A E K. It was dissappointing. However I strongly believe was goes around comes around. maybe not at the World Cup but in some other aspect of life.
However there is nothing we can do about it as we might not host another World Cup in our lifetime.
Let us rather cherish those precious moments for ever.
Well done to all of those in Green!!!!
Hi everyone
This was a great experience that nobody can take away from you. I’ve enjoyed working with all of you..Ke-nako I was there and did my bit for my country and province.Cape Town volunteers rocks.
Hi Asref. I can proudly say : I answered the call for my country to assist. Viva the ladies and gents in green and yellow. A job well done. As Joseph Sepp Blatter said : South Africa, South Africans, you deserve a 9 out of 10. May my child one day, in her lifetime, reap the positive spin offs of this SWC 2010.
Continue to Wave your flag!!!
Hi Dears
Rather late than never. enjoyed the time even though a lot of small things were going on; like some of us who only came to sign in and out. I agree that what goes around comes around. Anyway life goes on. Miss you all already. Work started and everyone just want to know about my experiences with you guys.
Charmaine u were great! don’t be stingy with whatever you find and meet!!! LOL
contanct me sandra 0214603056
I agree with you guys I did my bit for my country – WELL DONE TO ALL THE GUYS IN GREEN & YELLOW. Hope to see you guys in Brazil.
Hi people of Mzanzi. What is this stipend card I must fetch at the stadium ??? Is it Mc Do again????????????????????? Any answers out there……
Oh yeah the stipend card-thanx.BUT BUT typical RSA boxes fell off da truck…..funny ne-and guess what-thats why we r not getting any goody bags-geez couldnt they come up with another excuse for running short on goody bags-is this their thank you…..geez…………bureaucrats
Hi everyone
I had a lovely time at the world cup and i still think of you guys. Sandra you never give me your contact details.Please contact me on 021-4603056
just want to know about the stipend cards-whats up with the BANK ADMINISTRATIVE costs….almost r11 per transaction????Firstly the UNFAIR HIGH TAXES on the amount………..R375 in my case……..and then the R11 per transaction….okay okay free money yes ( because its volunteer services, when we applied monies were not mentioned)-but I think FIFA could have borne the cost of the bank admin fees………….unfair ne……..
