Johannesburg - Flights around Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula will be restricted during the final draw for the 2010 World Cup, police said on Monday.

"One of the security measures to be implemented is the temporary restriction of airspace during certain periods in the vicinity of the Cape peninsula and Robben Island," said SA Police Service spokesperson Director Sally de Beer in a statement.

"The aim of the temporary flight restriction... is to ensure maximum safety with minimum disruption to the community."

Isn't this a tad excessive ? It's a draw for goodness sake.

What do they have in mind for the actual event ?
 
Actually they are probably worried a SAA plane is going to drop an engine on them. Or was it Kulula?

No. There are extremists who would love any opportunity to launch an attack. Even if it is just the draw.

ROFL. I just had a picture in my mind of ET and the boys in full K@ki's in canoes on their way to Robben Island. "I are come to cause k@k!" :D
