Cape Town - South Africa will host a better Soccer World Cup in 2010 than Germany did last year, president Thabo Mbeki said on Tuesday.

Opening debate in the National Assembly on the presidency's budget vote, he told MPs that when Fifa president Sepp Blatter visited South Africa again later this week, he would find the country "well on course" with its preparations to host the event.

"I have no doubt that our local organising committee, government at all levels, and everybody concerned will do the necessary work to guarantee that we host a better tournament in 2010 than the excellent 2006 German World Cup," Mbeki said.
