World Cup organizing head Danny Jordaan built up South Africa's safety record in hosting major sports events as second to none, but stressed Monday that he could not be held responsible for the country's appalling social crime statistics.
Speaking at a business conference less than seven months before the World Cup, Jordaan said that the country had hosted top events such as the rugby and cricket World Cups and last year's Confederations Cup football tournament without any major security problems.
