	June 2010

		With under two weeks to go until the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the excitement in Johannesburg is palpable at almost every street corner.

People have pimped their cars and Football Fridays has people rushing home if they’ve forgotten to don their footie shirts. Walking in Sandton, all you see is a sea of yellow and green and if you’re wearing the right colours, you’re recognised as part of the rainbow family. It’s such a special time to be a S’african and an incredible example of successful marketing. South Africans are 100% behind Bafana Bafana and the gees is inspiring.

We at UCM, like all S’africans are proud to be part of this and look forward to covering the World Cup in the coming weeks and have some exciting features planned. With two internationally recognised magazine brands, we expect guests to our country to buy our brands to truly experience South Africa. Make sure your brands are seen in SA’s coolest media brands. Viva Africa, our time has come!
