Deputy Minister of Safety and Security Susan Shabangu and World Cup organisers said that government is ready to ensure effective policing for 2010 World Cup and the Fifa Confederations Cup in 2010.

They said that the police force has integrated a plan to ensure that soccer fans will be safe during the soccer world cup and they are also trained to deal with crowd control and millions are being spent to buy equipment.

The SAPS is said to be on a massive recruitment to increase in its number by 55 000 to 190 000 by 2010.

Safety concerns are rife prior to the event, as South Africa has been listed as one of the most violent countries in the world
