The marketing of a stab-proof vest for visitors to South Africa during the soccer spectacular has been described as a joke by the 2010 Fifa World Cup Local Organising Committee.
A British company, Protektorvest, earlier said it would provide stab-proof vests to tourists who feared being mugged or stabbed while visiting the country for the World Cup in June and July.
LOC spokesman Rich Mkhondo described the vests as an dreadful money making ploy using fear tactics.
He says sport fans visiting South Africa have never needed stab vests.
Mkhondo says the marketing of such vests is a joke.
He assured the public that such vests will not and will never be needed during the World Cup.
