Introduction
The 2010 Soccer World Cup is a monumental project to the likes of which South Africa has never before seen.

Roads, railways, airports and seaports need to be built or upgraded to accommodate the high demand such resources will experience in the months leading up to the Soccer World Cup. Living space such as hotels, guesthouses and hostels need to be prepared to accommodate the hundreds-of-thousands of visitors expected. Stadiums need to be planned and erected to host the soccer games.

The success of hosting such an event is directly linked to the creation and implementation of comprehensive research, foresight and planning.

This is where a long-established company such as EvaluNet comes into play.

Educating a generation
Often in the media we hear about how vastly crime, vagrancy, rape, human-trafficking, violence and unemployment will take its toll on the success of the Soccer World Cup. If the soccer fails, we fail as a nation.

EvaluNet is indirectly contributing to the hopeful-success of the 2010 Soccer World Cup through its products and services. EvaluNet is all about education. Statistics have proven that education leads to employment, and employment in turn tends to lead to a lower crime rate, and lower rates of all forms of violence.

In a very funny, but oddly true way, EvaluNet is promoting a healthy society, which in turn, contributes to the overall progression of the World Cup Soccer in our country.

By helping to educate today’s learners, EvaluNet is ensuring a generation of young people who are capable of entering universities and colleges for much needed positions such as architects and engineers, required for the infrastructure needed for the World Cup Soccer. EvaluNet is ensuring the future of learners who wish to become doctors, nurses, tour guides, bus drivers, workers, builders, plumbers, pilots, police officers, painters, entrepreneurs, journalists, photographers, marketers, charity fundraisers, shop assistants, development workers, security guards, paramedics, firefighters, telecommunications officers, electricians, landscapers, land surveyors, data capturers, mechanics, dieticians, audiovisual specialist… all of which require some type of formal education… and all of which are very necessary to host a successful 2010 World Cup Soccer!

By and before 2010, South Africa needs these educated and qualified people to fulfil their various roles in society to ensure that we can truly be proud of the legacy the Soccer World Cup will leave behind.

Without the knowledge that comes with a good and proper, well-rounded education, South Africa can forget even dreaming of hosting another event like the Soccer World Cup.

A stable economy
Through EvaluNet’s community development work and corporate social investment interests, the company is contributing positively to the South African economy by ensuring a literate, learned, and skilled work force. While the 2010 Soccer World Cup may hold no direct beneficial economic interest to EvaluNet, the company in turn is ploughing back over half a million rand into sport and cultural development. The Soccer World Cup therefore holds an indirect economic interest to EvaluNet.

As summed up by EvaluNet PRO Adrian Marnewick: “EvaluNet is not just any conventional company. No, EvaluNet is a community within a much, much larger community. And communities care for each other. If South Africa wants to host the 2010 Soccer World Cup, then we say ‘hey, big-up to SA’, and we will support this country 100%. That is the only way to move forward. To support and be proud. To educate. To grow teachers. To grow learners. And to shape a bright and beautiful future for South Africa. Our South Africa”.
