The PM World Cup Desk of Sport. With Hugh Sykes.
On Friday we marked the first game of the World Cup, and it inspired Hugh to rummage around among his negatives to send some more photos from his trip to South Africa last month:
"Pensive in Mbombela stadium. South Africa 4, Thailand 0
World Cup souvenir seller, service station near Johannesburg
Supermarkets and shops are filled with flags
Football boys at an informal settlement near Tongaat, Kwa-Zulu Natal. The blue containers are new public toilets, with mains drainage - replacing some of the pit latrines that they have had to use for years.
Enjoy the football, and the scenery...
...and the incomparable stars. That's the Southern Cross riding high.
And a cold winter dawn:
Hitchhiker and his mum. But be careful how you drive:
Seventeen people, mostly pensioners, killed when a lorry lost control as they were waiting for a bus near Greytown, Kwa-Zulu Natal.
Approximately 12,000 people were killed in road accidents in South Africa in 2009 - thats about 36 deaths every day."
