Ask your question about SA

If you a potential vistor to South Africa for the 2010 world cup, I would love to hear your questions and hopefully answer them. It amazes me what people think they will find in SA. Maybe lions roaming the streets, maybe mad bob on a shopping spree? Well lets have some fun, start the questions and let me hear what you think, hopefully you will join us for this momenteous occasion. Join us in answering the poll and lets get the facts straight lol. The poll might be tough for some Americans who think leaving their state is like an overseas trip :).
