The government is wary of the costs involved in staging the 2010 soccer World Cup and says it is yet to endorse the bid for another World Cup just a year later.
The UK’s Sunday Telegraph reports Denver Hendricks, head of sport and recreation for the South African government, as saying: “Safety and security needs to be controlled by the government as well as certain financial guarantees.
“It raises the question whether the country can cope with hosting two big events in such a short space of time.”
