The clip has no Voice Over. Information given here shall backup the clip.




A few South African specific words have been translated.
Background:
Solly lives in SoWeTo. He stopped washing cars, now that he plays professional soccer.
He still remembers playing in the now demolished Orlando Stadium, hopes the new stadium will be the biggest in South Africa.
camera13 hopes to continue to work with Solly, following some of his steps towards 2010.

Construction for a 2010 Soccer World Cup (TRAININGSGROUND) has began in 2006.
The historic site will see a new stadium where players & entourage, plus coaches are in close proximity to some of the most historic places and sites of South Africa's recent past.
In jogging-distance. Moments shared. Stories retold.

Why is Orlando Stadium special, if it is not even a match venue?

5 minute into clip:
15 minutes away from Orlando is the real SoWeTo stadium, and although close by it is on the other side of the N1 Highway. The township exits only on one side of the motorway.

Here we find the in 1987 built FNB stadium, now being upgraded for 2010. The name was changed to Soccer City, still home to SAFA. Soccer City will host the WC opening match in 2010 plus other matches.
