Bulletproof vests for German Soccer Team during 2010 Fifa World Cup

It has been reported by a German newspaper that their national soccer team should have bulletproof vests and armoured vehicles if they venture out of the capital, Pretoria during the World Cup next year..  What kind of bullshit is this??  Did players in the ICC cricket cup wear bulletproof vests or the Rugby world cup or even the IPL cricket series.  Oh I forgot, the German's dont play these sports.  The asswipe that fueled the story is linked to a german based security firm that wants to tended to provide security during this period, although he now apologises for his unfounded statements.  Maybe he was still drunk from the Oktoberfest....

SAA a rip off - World Cup 2010

A good source at South African Airways has just confirmed that the national carrier will be doubling fares during the world cup next year.  The aim is to obviously squeeze every penny out of the tourists flying locally.  Other low cost airlines will follow suit.  A word of advice, if you planning on going to the FIFA 2010 World Cup then book your internal flights asap.

SAA isnt new to controversy.  They showed a huge loss for the past few years before they received a government bailout.  The CEO Khaya Ncqula was given more than $1 million retention bonus payout after he was fired earlier this year.
