2010 Corruption Risk Highlighted in Report

A report from South Africa's Public Service Commission is putting the spotlight on the risk of corruption during the lead-up to the 2010 World Cup.

The report highlighted potential challenges in areas such as the capacity of the emergency services, processing the huge influx of visitors, and providing services without bias based on race, gender or disability.

"Lack of full compliance may put departments, which are involved in big programmes and tenders, at risk regarding potentially corrupt practices," the report stated.
