The factual answer is "No" and is proven by steps already taken. FIFA have given South Africa special dispensation to use Boarding Houses which have previously been disallowed and currently FIFA has again been approached to change its rules to allow International Teams and their supporters to reside in Countries neighbouring South Africa. Dont know the outcome of that yet but someone is in for a rude awakening. The Tourist Industry with their fancy prices do not appeal to the mass market where the budget of real football supporters lie so most will be unable to afford the travel and accommodation. As one Answerer said maybe renting out Houses will provide a solution but I would be very careful to whom you rent. Generally football supporters like a good drink and can be rowdy in their behaviour so dont be surprised if you find quite a bit of damage.
