South Africa angry at WC stab proof vests

World Cup hosts South Africa have responded angrily to the story we reported last week about a website selling stab proof vests, which could be personalised with the flag of each country competing at the World Cup this summer.

South Africa's authorities have condemned a London-based company, Protektorvest, which is selling the stab-vests aimed at football supporters.

"These people are out of order," said South Africa's football boss Kirsten Nematandani. "We've never heard of such measures being taken before and there surely is no need for it."

Meanwhile the BBC's Pumza Fihlani, reporting from in Johannesburg, says security officers usually advise foreign travelers to guard against "standing out", so wearing the vests could attract unwanted attention.
