Once again it shows in this article. The "warning" they trying to put out to the international world is actually gonna backfire on the pharmacutical industry. Now that they have made a problem and issue of the possible lack of planning within the pharmacutical industry, "FANS" will stock up double time on medication prior to coming to SA. Where, if they didnt get their repeat script before leaving home they might have done it here, but after sending this message into the electronic world I think you have done far more damage than good to your members. South Africa is not the first destination the "Fans with illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and chronic skin conditions" are travelling to. Most international travellers actually plan ahead and especially the North Americans and Europeans travel with a medical aid kit that I think some of our rural clinics would die for. I hope sooner or later role players in supporting industries, who should work towards making the World Cup a success, catch a wake up and start sending positive e-waves into e-cyber and not try and derail the Soccer World Cup.
