Hi and Hola - Welcome to this edition Southem Online. The Football (Soccer) World Cup in
South Africa is reputed to be the biggest event of its kind in the world. Right up until near
kick-off some commentators expressed doubts South Africa, with its economic, political and
social challenges, could successfully host such an event. However, as Roger Godsmark of
Forestry SA tells us in a podcast, the event has not only exceeded international expectations
but also been a real cohesive force for good in the country. One of the joys of watching the
World Cup has been the exposure given some of the smaller countries in the southern
hemisphere, including Paraguay (see below). For more on South Africa, go to the Podcast at:

PULP MILL DISPUTE ‘NO FOOTBALL MATCH’ – BOTH SIDES MUST WIN
Argentina’s Foreign Affairs Minister Héctor Timerman has used a soccer analogy in urging
caution in seeking a resolution with Uruguay over the Botnia/UPM pulp mill and its
environmental impact. He said the issued could not be seen as “a football match where one
side wins and the other looses”, but rather as a situation where “the peoples of both countries
benefit”, Mercopress has reported.
