Aarto to expand during World Cup

The date, which falls during the course of the Fifa World Cup soccer tournament, was proclaimed in the Government Gazette last week.

Cape Town has already shown resistance and Sake24 understands that the legislators in the other three metropolitan councils are putting their objections into writing.

A number of these legislators told Sake24 that they were busy with preparations for a safe tournament and didn't currently have time to send staff for Aarto training.

Three of the four cities are host cities and the fourth is the home of the OR Tambo Airport, at which by far most of the expected 373 000 foreign guests will arrive.

Moreover, the Aarto legislation is not functioning properly and the traffic authorities are concerned that its implementation during the tournament will cripple effective law enforcement.
