The action takes place in the city of Athens, which is completely devoid of men. Every man, and every almost-man, has been called to war, and whilst they are being killed off in the fighting, their wives are left at home to raise babies and amuse themselves. Lusistrata has called together the women of Athens and Sparta to come up with a way to force their husbands to come to a peace agreement.

The name of the stadium derives from the province in which it is located, South Africa’s Free State Province.

The 2010 World Cup will not be the first time that the Free State stadium has been used for international events.

In 1996 The CAF African Cup of Nations was held here as well as in 1995 when the IRB Rugby World Cup was won by South Africa. Bloemfontein Celtics also call the stadium their alternate home ground.

The stadium which previously held 38,000 people had a costly upgrade and can now hold 48,000 supporters.

“The airport development also prepares South Africa for the future influx of passengers as current projections indicate that South Africa may have to double capacity every nine years,” Ndebele said.

The R46m terminal reconfiguration project, also include an apron upgrade, a hotel, and a road alignment project, which were all expected to be completed by January 2010.

Ndebele said all the development projects by the Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) at airports should put the company in a place to accommodate the influx of passengers estimated to be over 35 million by 2010.

The company’s two biggest projects are the construction of the new international airport at La Mercy, to the north of Durban (R7bn) and the construction of the central terminal building (R900m) at the Cape Town International Airport.

Ndebele said by the end of 2012 the 10 airports under ACSA’s network should be able to handle over 40 million passengers.

“The addition of the new facilities here in Bloemfontein prepares us to deal with that expected influx beyond 2010,” he said.

“Demand between the cities is indicated as substantial,” says Mango CEO Nico Bezuidenhout. “The positive impact of low cost aviation to any particular destination has been proven worldwide,” he says, noting that the airline’s Bloemfontein Cape Town route has seen annual growth of 27%. Mango’s commitment to the City of Roses has been substantial, with the airline having already invested in full ground handling capacity at the airport. “Presently we handle the majority of all passenger movements at Bloemfontein airport,” says Bezuidenhout, “thus growth in our capacity is the next logical step.

Earlier this week, Mango also announced the next step in its partnership with online provider WirelessG. The airline plans to have Internet available across its fleet during the course of the year, pending CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) approvals. “Mango is growing, whether it’s our network or innovative ancillary revenue opportunities.”

Mango’s inaugural flight to Bloemfontein takes place on 12 April 2010 with flights on sale from 12 March, available on www.flymango.com, the call centre on 08611 62646 or at any Shoprite, Checkers and Checkers Hyper Moneymarket counters and travel agents.
