Below is a free access to the editorial of the latest South Africa Labour Bulletin and one of our main features.

With the World Cup upon us, our performance as a soccer nation has come under scrutiny and South Africa has  been found sadly lacking. But what are we lacking? Tony Fluxman marvels that despite soccer being a dominant  global sport, and hugely popular in South Africa, we tend to view it as a second cousin to cricket and rugby.

Workers all over South Africa welcomed the hosting of the World Cup in 2010. Crispen Chinguno looks critically at how trade unions strategically responded to the event and what benefits have so far accrued to workers and the poor.
