Pepper Grove Mall have invited residents to enjoy the opening ceremony with them, while Rhodes will hold a special “kick off ” for staff.
Rob Beer of Beer Property Management said there will be a big screen where people can watch the opening ceremony as well as the opening match between South Africa and Mexico.
The activities will start from 2pm and there will be diski dancing and mini goal posts. The celebrations will take place between KFC and Roxbury.
A number of Pepper Grove Mall tenants have also contributed lucky draw prizes towards the event, which will be handed out with soccer balls and vuvuzelas.
There will also be boerewors rolls on sale. Beer said he decided to create a bit of excitement and get the community involved in the World Cup celebrations and to “get into the spirit of things”.
All of the 32 countries taking part in the World Cup’s flags have been put up throughout the mall. The Rhodes staff celebration will start from 12 noon on the Drostdy Lawns where all the staff can enjoy a shorter work day.
When matches are at 4pm the Rhodes working day will run from 7.30am to 3pm, allowing staff time to travel to where they want to watch matches.
