Riding on the back of the euphoria of the FIFA World Cup South Africa has been touted as a potential host for the 2020 Olympics. This is further fueled by Olympic chief Jacques Rogge’s statement that he would be glad if a South African city made a bid to host the games. There must be substantial pressure on the IOC to hold the Games on the African continent. Rogge went on to say that Cape Town made a credible bid in 1997 to host the 2004 Games when they lost out to Athens.
