What i find so unfair is that the ICC have chosen South Africa to host the first ever twenty20 world cup this autumn! The question im asking is why? This form of the game was invented in the UK yet we don't get to host it first, what the hell is going on there how stupid and wrong is this!

You are right.
The reason is UK might be a super power in general. It is not a super power in cricket.

The decision to select South Africa to host the first Twenty/20 World Cup was taken by ICC Executive Committee after examining the bids made by the nations keen to hold the event.
It has been decided to hold the event in 2007 at South Africa, in 2009 at England, in 2012 at Sri Lanka and in 2014 atBangladesh.
The ICC decided that South Africa and England should host the first two tournaments because they were the earliest adopters of the format.

God bless us, because a 50 over game was too much for us!
It should have been hosted in Uk, since it last hosted a WC in 1999, and maybe next in 2019, as India hosts 2011 and Aussies 2015.

If ICC is looking for money then the tournament would surely come to the sub-continent which generates more money for cricket than any other continent. The selection of venue is based on bid. May be england might have lost the bid. ICC should not be blamed for this
