Sportsocracy - 28th edition - It's the final countdown diddle doo doo, diddle dee dee dee

To kick off on a small downer Gary Coleman is dead R.I.P to him.

I heard after a re-assessment into Colemans death by coroners they all came to the same conclusion.....he died of a dif'rent stroke.

God bless Coleman, for now we will never know what Willis was talkin' bowt.

From Coleman to goals man. The world cup is round the corner, it's so close you can taste it.

On friday the 11th of June at 3pm, as South Africa kick off against Mexico in J-burg, remember those South Africans removed, without notice, from their houses for the stadium to be built.

Thats right, poor souls removed from their metal corrigated huts and homes. Not much to us but it was home to them.

These souls have been moved to the outskirts of the city. To the hillside that looks down towards the stadium, so the tourists won't see the real problems that the world cup has caused. Forced homeless-ness and poverty.

No running water, no toilets, no real source of food and barely a roof over their heads. It's a dire situation that people should know about.

Bafana, bafana the crowd will shout teams will score they'll jump about but remember the forced-to-be-homeless souls of South Africa with a world of doubt.
