Johannesburg - Confidence in whether SA will be ready to host the 2010 World Cup dropped 6% from last month's measurement by research company African Response, due to negativity over power cuts, the company said on Wednesday.

"While confidence remains high, it has dropped by 6% from the last month's measurement. This drop was anticipated given the recent negativity related to power cuts experienced throughout the country," the company said in a statement.

However, the company's monthly "2010 Barometer" showed that of the 400 South Africans surveyed, 62% believed the country would "make a plan" to ensure the success of the soccer spectacle.

Of the 400 people polled, 21% indicated their doubt and 17% were unsure.

On Tuesday, deputy president Phumzile Mlambo Ngcuka said tenders to provide generators for the key 2010 soccer World Cup venues would be issued at the end of May.
