The 2010 World Cup is in full swing. And while the eyes of the world are trained on South Africa, not everyone in the host nation is sold on the event.
On this week’s show, South African novelist Marlene van Niekerk was in to discuss her new novel Agaat. But she and Kurt also got to talking about the Cup and she said, unlike many South Africans, she’s not convinced it’s benefiting the country.
You can hear more of Kurt’s conversation with van Niekerk here.

Is it just Americans that hate this or the rest of the world too?
Apparently they bulldozed two schools to build stadiums which won’t be used more than a handfull of times. OOPS. Oprah will not be happy.
