Hyundai Goodwill Ball

Global Hyundai Goodwill Ball road show for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ gets rolling in SA As football fever builds, 2010 FIFA World Cup™ partner Hyundai will proudly launch the Hyundai Goodwill Ball road show, a signature Hyundai programme and a popular feature of all major football tournaments since EURO 2000, in Johannesburg on 28 January 2010. 32 gigantic four-meter high Hyundai Goodwill Balls representing all the qualifying nations for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ will be on display in Hyundai Park at Mushroom Farm Park where prominent South Africans, country ambassadors, FIFA representatives and government officials will inscribe the first messages before the balls leave to tour their respective countries and inspire the hopes and passion of football fans all over the world. All 32 Goodwill Balls will end their voyages back in Johannesburg in May, when a great celebration will take place just before the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ kicks off. The balls will then follow their teams and the messages will be on display at matches. “The Hyundai Goodwill Balls have become a symbol of pride, hope, passion and the uniting power of football the world over, and it is an honour to now bring that legacy to South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™” says CEO of Hyundai South Africa, Alan Ross. Radio host Jeremy Mansfield, Watershed musician Craig Hinds and football legend Jomo Sono are included in the line-up of famous faces who will be among the first people in the world to inscribe the South African Goodwill Ball. Pupils from Sefikeng Primary School in Kyalami will represent the youth of South Africa as the first children to sign the ball before it leaves on a national tour starting in Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton City on 30 January. Popular South African band Watershed will perform live at the launch as they debut their new single, ‘United by the World’, commissioned by Hyundai for the Goodwill Ball tour. The tune is set to become a popular anthem for South Africa in 2010 and will be the first single to be released from Watershed’s latest album, One Million Faces, due to be launched in April this year. Written by talented lead singer, Craig Hinds, the song inspires and encourages all South Africans to unite behind the national team and country ahead of the biggest sporting event to hit South Africa’s shores. As the South African Hyundai Goodwill Ball makes its way across the country, it will stop at major centres and events enabling fans to write their own messages of goodwill for the national team, the nation and the world. Well-wishers will have opportunities to win special tickets to 2010 FIFA World Cup™ games, tickets to the welcome celebration and Hyundai promotional giveaways as well as being able to have photographs taken with local celebrities, sporting heroes and influential South Africans. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for the whole family to get a taste of 2010 FIFA World Cup™ magic, and to leave your mark on a ball that will be signed by thousands across the country and displayed to thousands more from all over the world,” says Ross. Online and social media campaigns will further extend the excitement and people can follow local and international Goodwill Ball progress, see celebrity messages, participate in competitions and upload their own photographs and messages at Hyundai.co.za and on the Hyundai SA Facebook and Twitter pages. Having proven to be a dependable partner and vehicle supplier in a number of FIFA competitions, Hyundai is maintaining its role in supporting historical football events as the Official Automotive Partner of FIFA until 2014. The Hyundai Goodwill Ball Roadshow is one of several Hyundai sponsored initiatives set to enhance the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ experience, including ‘Be there with Hyundai’, the Hyundai Fan of the Match and the Hyundai Best Young Player Award. For the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, 609 Hyundai passenger cars/vans and 2,800 hours of bus use will be put at the disposal of FIFA officials, national teams, members of the organizing committee, referees and media representatives. Hyundai will be providing its own Universe luxury coaches for the upcoming FIFA tournament in specially manufactured right hand drive editions for the official transport of the 32 national teams and will be decorated with the national team colors, flags and the winning slogan of the ‘Be There with Hyundai’ competition. Hyundai is further using part of their allocation through the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Ticket Fund, in partnership with non-profit organisation Lapdesk, to donate 5 000 specially branded lapdesks to young learners and provide these learners with an opportunity to attend a 2010 FIFA World Cup™ game. As well as providing these learners with a vital learning tool and a once in a lifetime football experience, Hyundai will have the lapdesks printed with important messages that effectively educate these learners and their families on road safety practices. Hyundai Park at Mushroom Farm Park in Sandton has been transformed, with further plans for an Earth Garden underway that will delight residents and learners alike. “We are extending our role in education with plans to transport schoolchildren to Hyundai Park for biology field experiences on an ongoing basis,” says Ross. “We’re determined to not only play our part in making the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ a phenomenal experience through fan initiatives like the Goodwill Ball Roadshow, but to also create an ongoing legacy of goodwill in South Africa that will be felt long after the final whistle sounds,” says Ross. Hyundai Goodwill Ball Road show schedule: Gauteng: Sandton City (Nelson Mandela Square) - 30 January East Gate Mall – 5 February East Rand Mall – 20 February Clearwater Mall – 19 March Cresta Shopping Centre– 27 March Menlyn Mall – 17 April Centurion Mall – 1 May Bloemfontein: Mimosa Mall – 27 February Cape Town: Canal Walk – 05 March Cape Gate – 06 March Durban / KZN: The Pavilion – 02 April Gateway – 03 April Suncoast Casino– 04 April The Liberty Mall, Midlands – 5 April Port Elizabeth: Summer Splash Festival in Port Elizabeth – 02-05 April Go to www.hyundai.co.za or find Hyundai SA on Facebook to follow the Hyundai Goodwill Ball Tour

FIFA Interactive World Cup 2010

What is the FIFA Interactive World Cup? The FIFA Interactive World Cup (FIWC) is the world's largest football gaming tournament. Players from all around the world compete, hoping to qualify for the Grand Final and ultimately be crowned the new FIFA Interactive World Champion. Last year FIFA, along with its Presenting Partners Electronic Arts (EA) and PlayStation, witnessed over 10,000 players compete at 19 Live Qualifier Events held across the globe, whilst a staggering 515,000 players picked up their PlayStation®3 controllers and went head-to-head on the EA SPORTS™ FIFA09 pitch as they tried to claim one of the 13 available Online Qualification spots. After the qualification season that ran from October 2008-May 2009 ended, 32 virtual players were left holding a ticket to Barcelona's Grand Final. These 32 gamers had proved themselves as some of the world's best virtual football players by qualifying for the FIWC09 Grand Final via either the online or Live Qualification modes. In Barcelona, it was 22 year old Frenchman Bruce Grannec who was eventually crowned the FIFA Interactive World Champion 2009. The highly anticipated FIWC10 season kicks off on 2nd October 2009 with a few changes to the qualification format from last year. As a result of the huge online numbers recorded in FIWC09, 21 Grand Final spots have now been allocated to the Online Qualification, resulting in a reduction of Live Qualifier Events. A total of 10 Live Qualifier Events will be held across the globe between October 2009 and May 2010. The Online Qualification for FIWC10 will also be structured slightly differently from previous years, with the introduction of two seasons. The first season will run from 2 October through to 18th December, whilst the second season will run from 4 January 2010 through to 31 March 2010. This exciting new structure to the online mode is set to add greater intensity to the games over a shorter period of time, whilst providing players with a greater chance of qualifying for the Grand Final! www.fifa.com/fiwc

National Final of MTN/Cence Entrepreneurial Competiton

MTN, in partnership with Consumer Education through National Collaborative Enablement (CENCE), is sponsoring a major project in four provinces to develop entrepreneurial awareness amongst learners in the rural areas. The project, aptly named Kgwebo ya Batsha or Young Entrepreneurs, has been launched in June in the Free State, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and North West. More than sixty primary and secondary schools have been selected to participate in a roll-out programme that includes market days, provincial and national competitions. An estimated 36 000 learners from grade 4 tot grade 11 levels now have the opportunity to enter. Those who participate will be given people and business skills to start their own businesses. Four coordinators representing the four provinces have already attended a four day workshop to assist schools and their participating learners. Educators and principals from the designated schools will be trained as facilitators during the July school holidays to render the necessary guidance. Curriculum and subject advisors have also been invited to assess the practical application of the learner’s guide in the ESM and BS classroom situations. The MTN sponsorship from its Foundation Fund provides for a number of prizes, ranging from R1 000,00 to R4 500,00, that will be awarded to the winning entries and schools. Learners can enter in four categories, namely production, retail, services and entertainment. Those who win through to the provincial competition will receive seed capital to open their own bank accounts and generate a profit. The entries who reach the finals will be invited to a gala occasion in Gauteng at the end of February, 2010. They will be given the opportunity to display their businesses and sell their goods at a prominent shopping centre as part of the final adjudication. If the project meets with the expectations of the sponsor, more schools will be added to the selection list in 2010.

Caxton Randburg Sun Photo Competition

Randburg Sun’s Photo of the Week competition has grown in leaps and bounds since its humble beginning in 2007. Each week readers submit photographs to the Randburg Sun to be entered into the weekly photo competition. While being open to amateur photographers only, the competition has resulted in some incredible images. Readers have used the competition as a creative outlet to share holidays, special moments, personal interests and points of view with Randburg Sun readers. The Randburg Sun is enormously grateful, and waits in eager anticipation of new entries. The competition opens every Monday at 1pm and closes the following Monday at 12.59pm. This means that while your photo may not win one week, should you re-enter the same photograph the following week, it may turn out the winner. There have been an astonishing variety of entries from children, grandparents and every age group in between; from men, women, parents, students, working professionals and home executives of every race and creed. From readers who have only just ventured into the world of digital photography, to others who have been experimenting for years. Some people enter once, others send in a number of photos every week. In 2009 the newspaper introduced monthly themes for the competition, which have proved immensely popular, and will be carried through to 2010’s competition. Each week the winning photo is printed onto an A2 canvas (sponsored by Photo2art) and given to the winner. At the end of the competition the canvases are returned to the Randburg Sun for a public exhibition, and for the overall winners to be chosen. After the prize-giving the canvases are returned to their owners. This year 2009’s 48 winning canvases will be on display in the Barnyard forecourt at Cresta Shopping Centre from 23 to 28 February, followed by an award evening of fun and prizes at Cresta Barnyard on 1 March. Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, which are judged by local professional photographers, while the Readers’ Choice Award is voted for by readers. Thank you very much to all who have supported the Photo of the Week competition during the last few years. Should you have any queries about the competition e-mail nickyb@caxton.co.za or call 011-889-0695.

The Brain of 702 with Sanlam is back and this year listeners will have to bowl the quizmasters over with their general knowledge skills in order to claim their share of nearly R400 000 in prize money. The Brain of 702 pits two listeners against each other live on-air as they answer as many questions as possible in 60 seconds. Six games will be played each day and, based on a knock-out structure, each winner from each game will bag R1000 a round.

The week’s daily winners will have to continue to outsmart each other during the quarter finals held each week at designated shopping centers – Jabulani Mall (6th February), Cresta Shopping Centre (13th February), Menlyn Park (20th February) and the finals at Sandton City (27th February). The winners of these rounds go home with R5 000 and vouchers to spend at the shopping centre. These will be broadcast live on Talk Radio 702 at 11am on each of the Saturday mornings. A wildcard round will also be played at 10am and the winner will participate in the quarter finals live on 702. Listeners are encouraged to visit their nearest shopping centre to not only watch this nail-biting competition but also meet their favourite presenter and other station personnel.

The questions will be carefully selected and scripted, ensuring that each participant receives questions of a similar length and along related themes. The questions will be chosen from various categories including history, geography, travel, entertainment and science. The competition will be run simultaneously on sister station 567 CapeTalk and culminates in the Brain of Brains on Monday, 28th February.
