2010 Safety & Security

Safety & Security
       

South Africa’s comprehensive plan for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ involves providing a blanket security of the event. Safety has already received a funding boost, with the 2007 Budget including an additional R6,8 billion for crime prevention and justice services. South Africa’s ability to manage the security for an event of this magnitude has been endorsed by FIFA.

South Africa has hosted several high-level global events, which include:

• World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in 2002
• Non-Aligned Movement Summit in 1998
• Rugby World Cup in 1995
• African Cup of Nations in 1996
• All Africa Games in 1999
• Cricket World Cup in 2003

There will be a significant increase in the number of Police in 2010, resulting from the ongoing expansion plan implemented since 2005. While this plan addresses the requirements for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, it will also leave a lasting legacy after the World Cup.
