If you have ever spent more than a few days in South Africa, chances are you have experienced a power failure of some description. If those few days were spent in the winter months, chances are you have experienced more than just one, but fears that these power outages could effect the World Cup should now be, very warmly, put to bed.

There should be no concerns any longer because it appears that oil giant BP has donated enough diesel to run generators in all official stadiums for the duration of the World Cup.

It was confirmed in April last year that neighbouring countries of South Africa would, if called upon, divert electricity supply to South Africa however, these now appears to be a backup solution if all stadiums are now to run on BP powered generators.

BP also confirmed that all broadcast power would also originate from the BP generators, ensuring uninterrupted viewing for TV audiences worldwide, so if you have any fears that a match in 2010, would stop broadcasting on your TV, rest assured, BP have come to the rescue. If it does all go wrong - buy Shell, but don't worry, it won't.
