Express your concerns to the sponsors of the upcoming World Cup

FIFA WORLD CUP SPONSORS

The following sponsors have been lined up for sponsorship either for the World Cup in 2010 or for FIFA in general. These sponsors stand to earn millions of dollars through their support of the World Cup, and South Africa stands to gain millions of dollars through sponsorship deals.

I encourage everybody to start writing to these sponsors and tell them that they must put pressure on Thabo Mbeki to confront Mugabe. Tell them that they will be picketed during the World Cup unless they act today. I’ve included links to pages that you can use for your complaints.

Also, write to your local Football Federation to tell them that they must pressure FIFA and the Government of South Africa.
