Local Organizing Committee Chairman Irvin Khoza is accusing tourism competitors of spreading harsh rumors about safety concerns in South Africa.

"South Africans must consistently and insistently communicate the message with confidence, because we are sure about what we are doing."

He claimed the debate was being fuelled by countries who had a large share of the tourism market.
