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.

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".

The Labour MP for Barking insisted on a stab proof vest before she went on walkabout

Nice constituents she's got.

What's "world cup" about these vests. And do they only protect you against "world cup" knives?
