The danger of the Soccer world cup in South Africa

Just today we i read about how the taxi drivers are threatening to disrupt the soccer world cup

Iafrica reported

They quoted a protester, Surren Taxi Association's Ismail Baradon, as saying that if the transport ministry did not respond to their concerns there would be disruptions during the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

So imagine for a moment that the soccer world cup is here and thousands of tourists are here. How easy it would be for some group like the taxi drivers or some workers to use the Soccer world cup as a weapon and threaten it some way.

Another example would be what happened in Mumbai. The tourists was worse off. I know that's a total different criteria but i guess you get the point.

The soccer world cup could be used as a weapon or a point of negotiations with strikers or whoever wants something and that is dangerous.
