On the 8th July 2009 an article appeared in the Daily News titled View leaves dignitaries emotional, speechless, tearful. This was in connection with the visit to the Moses Mabhida stadium by dignitaries.  This book contains an  explanation for these tears as given by a worker who gains access to the unauthorized underground area of the stadium.  The book is a drawing of what he saw down there.  The book explains that the dignitaries were exposed to gases which ensured the continued building of the stadium.  This  fold book was intended to continue the mail art series currently being posted.
