This summer, Sporting Life columnist David Goldblatt will be Prospect's roving reporter in South Africa. He'll be at the games, the parties, the concerts and all the big events—but he'll also be meeting local politicians, trade unionists, chefs, businessmen and artists, and unpicking the psychology of this great sporting event. Expect the most intriguing gossip and unusual reportage. This will be quite unlike the World Cup coverage you'll find anywhere else.
The blog begins when he flies out in early June, but to warm up, have a look at his column about this World Cup's potential from last September's Prospect, and keep an eye out for the upcoming June issue, featuring his four-page essay on how South Africa is measuring up as a host nation.
