Check this out. The chief-engineer for the construction of the brand new Soccer City stadium is a Belgian! Marc Meire. He moved to SA in the 80s and started working for a local construction company. He climbed the ladder and the company became bigger and bigger too. It got the deal to built Soccer City and that's that. As a kid Marc admired New York's Twin Towers (RIP) and wanted to built something big and amazing. With Soccer City his dream came true.
Next Sunday Belgian tv VRT will show a feature about Marc and his Soccer City challenge. You can watch the channel on the Specialist Bouquet on DSTV. The channel is called BVN, which combines Dutch and Belgian broadcasters. The piece about Marc will be in Sportweekend - a weekly sports magazine - aired straight after the evening news, which starts at 8PM (SA time).
p.s. The story was filmed by a SA cameraman.
