Stab-Vests World Cup Style
|
The national police says the company was causing “unnecessary fear”. South Africa’s football boss Kirsten Nematandani has assured visitors that all safety measures were in place. South Africa has one of the world’s highest rates of violent crimes but the authorities say they will tighten security for the tournament. Protektorvest, which currently sells its merchandise online, says there is a “high demand” for protective clothing and claim the stab-vests which cost close to $70 (£43) are the “No 1 personal protection for the World Cup 2010″. Fans can add their national flag to the vest, or slogans such as “Free hugs” or “Ole”. Protektorvest owner Sascha Cutura denied that the company was saying South Africa was unsafe. “We fulfil a need from security-conscious people,” he told the BBC. According to their website, the company plans to open offices near South Africa’s OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg for the duration of the World Cup.
