 The arrival of "QE2" in Cape Town was expected to create many local jobs including Hotel staff, restaurant staff, chefs, cleaners and shop attendants, all being sourced from the local workforce.But, in January 2010, it was confirmed she would not be moved to Cape Town.In early 2010, due to the continued poor financial performance of Dubai World, there was much media speculation that "QE2", along with other assets owned by Istithmar, Dubai World's private-equity arm, would be sold to raise capital.
