From South Africa – The Good News
The 2009 Indian Premier League cricket tournament ended on Sunday with
a spectacular closing ceremony.
Speaking after watching the Deccan Chargers beat the Royal Challengers
Bangalore by six runs, president Jacob Zuma thanked the IPL Chairman, Lolit Modi, for
showing faith in South Africa by bringing the tournament to South
Africa when it proved impossible to stage it in India.
[Hosting the tournament at short notice] displays once again our country’s ability to host tournaments of
this magnitude, said Zuma. The infrastructure, the transport, the accommodation,
was in place, and the safety of our guests was well secured.
