Police Warn Against World Cup Disruptions

Police officials in South Africa are warning people and groups who set out to disrupt the World Cup that they will be held to the full authority of the law.

"Any criminal or would-be-criminal who threatens the safety of the 2010 Fifa World Cup will meet the full might of the force," Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa said.

"We will not be subjected to such unbecoming behaviour and will not tolerate this nonsense," said Mthethwa.
