Peace Caravan
On 9 March 2009, the Rwandan capital of Kigali
serves as starting point for a new Peace Caravan designed to travel the
Great Lakes Region. On its way it is going to embed the countries of
Burundi, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. This time, ‘Caravanamani’ conveys a
twofold mission: It is going to animate the idea of an African FIFA
Confederations Cup 2009™ and FIFA World Cup 2010™ by carrying the
South African enthusiasm to these countries. At the same time
Caravanamani will use football as a tool for peace building and social
inclusion in Africa. World Cup ‘ambassadors’ from South Africa will join
the caravan and participants of the caravan will in turn join the
kick-off to the Confed Cup in South Africa in June. Alongside a number
of bigwigs World Cup Mascot Zakumi will participate in Caravanamani’s
Opening Ceremony.
