28 accused have been convicted in Mzansi’s World Cup Courts since they opened on the 28th of May.

One of the latest convictions was a 26 year old man who was sentenced to 20 months behind bars – after he tried to steal a duvet cover from a tourist bus.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Mthunzi Mhaga reportedly told the South African Press Agency that 76 cases have been filed in the courts so far – of which 30 cases were finalised.

Mhaga added that a number of cases have been withdrawn due to lack of evidence – and told YFM News that the courts have been a success.

Bavaria is not an official 2010 Fifa World Cup sponsor .

Police spokesperson – Vishnu Naidoo - says their passports have also been confiscated.
