World Cup Round-up

The South African police will handle security at four major stadiums for the rest of the World Cup, because of an ongoing labor dispute.



Privately hired security stewards are on strike over wages, and police had already taken over their duties on an interim basis.



The police takeover will last through the final on July 11.



The decision, made after a meeting between police officials and the local organizing committee, affects two Johannesburg stadiums, Soccer City and Ellis Park, and stadiums at Durban and Cape Town.



While, two Dutch women were released on bail after facing charges that they broke a law covering ambush marketing by wearing minidresses promoting a brewery at a World Cup match.



The women are being prosecuted under laws, which prevent companies benefiting from an event without paying for advertising.



South African police also raided the premises of a known group of Argentine hooligans and said they will detain 17 of them.
