Security at 2010 World Cup stadiums has come under serious threat in the early days of the soccer tournament leading the Local Organising Committee to allow police to take over security services at four stadiums.
SAPS will provide security services at the Soccer City, Ellis Park, Cape Town Stadium and the Durban stadiums for the duration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
During a meeting in the week between the police and the organising committee, LOC Chief Executive Officer Danny Jordaan thanked the police for their committed support to ensure the success of the tournament.
"The 2010 FIFA World Cup must remain a special celebration of Africa's first FIFA World Cup. We will ensure that the event environment is one that contributes to this celebration," Jordaan said.
The National Police Commissioner General Bheki Cele said: "Our priority is the safety of the tournament and the country as a whole. We will perform our responsibilities with diligence and pride".
