Food for thought: besides all the tickets sold to people outside of South Africa, has anyone thought about the 'regulars' who usually visit as tourists or visiting family, who now will avoid coming to South Africa during this madness?
How much revenue is being lost by this? Including locals who will not travel to Kruger for instance, because the lodgings there have been reserved for football fans, who won't bother going to Kruger?

I think South Africa is missing out on revenue and that amount is still hidden, it will only show up at the end of this fiscal year when the books are closed for the year.
