so FIFA is giving them out to locals for about $20 a piece

what is the source for this?
i visited south africa few yrs back, it was beautiful and i didn't get kill stab or robbed. granted we stick to the tourist route. I remember the tour guide took us to a place and tell us that "beyond this point there is no law". There is still major discrimination though, white men still rule there and sometimes i understand why the lower class lash out (99.99999% black). they live in what looks like booth build with cardboard and than few km later you would see a giant ass mansion with sick cars white family with a few black servants in a property roughly equal to 2000 cardboard booths for the poor.
having said that i was treated with respect if i have the chance i would definately go back especially if its for the world cups
