South Africa is hosting the 2010 footbal (soccer) world cup. They have set up 54 different courts in the nine cities hosting the tournament. these courts were set up to quickly deal with any crimes commited during the world cup before people leave the country. South Africa is one of the world's most violent countries, but since President Jacob Zuma took office in May the government has made fighting crime a priority. "The experience from previous host countries has shown the influx of foreign nationals in World Cups also potentially increases criminal activities," a statement from the justice ministry said. The spokesmen Tlali Tlali also added that, "The courts are here to speed up the process. There is not going to be any leniency." This is estimated to cost about one million rand ($135,000; £81,250) also, judges, lawers, and volenteers will all receive special training. BBC: [] Africa Newsbreak. com: []

Both articles covered the topic quite well. They both had the quotes from thespokes person Tlali Tlali. BBC had how much this was supposed to cost while Africa Newsbreak.com had the quote about South Africa being one of the most violen countries.

I think that South Africa is doing the right thing by setting up these courts as it will drastically speed up the process in which trials are held and people will not be allowed to leave the country if the commit a crime so they will not be prosecuted. This will act as a deteerent to crime in my opinion as it will help South Africa remain a wonderfu country.
