This year's World Cup will generate millions of US dollars and South African Rands, but many South Africans will not be able to attend any of the matches. Our Johannesburg reporter has more.

A typical Sunday morning in a South African township…

Many of these kids don't know where their next meal will coming from. But in this soccer loving nation football is a sport that makes millions of poor South.

Africans forget about about their hardship and suffering. Most people here cannot afford to buy world cup tickets. They don't even have money to travel to Fifa's fanparks. That's what inspired local resident Sureya Fortuin. To turn her home into a Sporting oasis for her community. With the help of a few friends, Sureya Decorated her house with a world cup theme. Inside and out, the colours of the 32 world cup teams cover the walls. There's even a mini soccer pitch, where Sureya shares her love of the sports with the new generation.

The kids are loving it, the neighbours are impressed and visitors are popping in to see what all the fuss is about.

South African soccer star Steven Pienaar grew up here in this poor, crime-ridden area, Westbury. There's great excitement that he's come home to represent his people in the world cup. And Soreya's house is bound to be another major attraction during the 31-day event.
