Olympic Games in South Africa? Rashiq Fataar on the Africa Business of Sport Podcast explores legacy of a future Olympic Games

Our CEO joined the Africa Business of Sport Podcast to discuss our think-tank Cape Town 2040 as well as the challenges and opportunities for Cape Town and South Africa, to become the first African host of the Summer Olympic Games.

The conversation explored the risks and opportunities of hosting the Olympics, how the city could leverage the Games to accelerate delivery in housing and transport, and the importance of adapting the Games to the city rather than forcing the city to adapt to the Games.

The discussion also covered insights from our Paris 2024 report, the role of innovation and sustainability, and how Cape Town could position itself as Africa’s next global city.
