There are 10 international airports in South Africa, which are Alexander Bay, Bisho, Cape Town, Durban, East London, George, Johannesburg, Phalaborwa, Pietersburg and Port Elizabeth.
The Inspection Group of the FIFA world Cup 2010 used four of these airports, like the Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth, Durban and Cape Town, and all four follow with international standards, especially Johannesburg airport, which has won honors as the best airport in Africa over the past two years
The other airports like Rustenburg, Bloemfontein, Polokwane and Pretoria are not equipped for taking international commercial flights, as they are military bases or national airports, where chartered planes could possibly land.
In South Africa the road network is first-rate or to say in excellent condition. There is no problem moving from one town to another, although it is a huge country with vast distances separating the main towns. On the whole, it has 7 200km of national roads and more than 50 000km of local roads.
Although there are a number of major ports like Durban, Port Elizabeth, East London, Cape Town, etc, the Inspection Group of the FIFA world Cup 2010 did not examine them in detail. Passenger liners can be easily accommodated in these ports, but people are not expected to be arriving via the ports, as South Africa's distance from other continents is vast and there are huge distances between the various ports.
There are 6 000km of rail tracks throughout the country, and train connections between the various towns are excellent. Only two 2010 FIFA World Cup proposed venues are not connected to the railway network. The country has a strong railway usage.
Public transport is split into four , which are the mini-vans, buses, trains and taxis. the mini-van is mainly in use for group transport, taking commuters home while picking up others en route. The urban subway and over ground is also well frequented and popular in some cities.
