The City of Cape Town has reportedly set aside money to remove street children during next year's event, but those rumors have not been verified.
Former street children Sigumbuzo Makhubo and Thozamile Ganjana, both 23, who are now working in the film industry and as "fixers" for international journalists, said street kids had plans to make big money during 2010.
Makhubo, who left the streets in 2005, said the children were ready for one big party.
"They know the visitors will use drugs and want sex. And they know they can make money from that."
