Cape Town’s devious designs

Hi,

What the organisation did not reveal is that the beneficiary of all this is the New Open World Corporation established in Switzerland, a very profitable company earning all the sponsorships and income derived from the SMSes and which does not have to reveal its balance sheet.

The front, the foundation, boasted it got 100 million votes for the 7 wonders. Imagine, if R2 went to the corporation for every SMS, it earned R200 million for the dubious privilege of the “successful” wonder being featured on the website. Oh, and we were urged over and over by the print media, the council and radio stations to vote for Table Mountain to accommodate this 419 scam. The whole thing was rigged because you could vote as many times as you liked. So Capies bought their way into the club.

Now a second private organisation, this time established in Montreal, Canada, the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design, induced Cape Town to apply to be the World Design Capital 2014. To do this Cape Town had to pay C$10 000 for the application, $25 000 to be on the shortlist and $600 000 as a “hosting fee” – that is R6.35m for it to have “the opportunity to showcase accomplishments in design and urban policy and (it) can expect to: gain visibility as a centre for creativity and innovation; … position the city as a leading centre of design; build global image as a must-see travel destination …”

Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
