"A zero tolerance against crime, unruly fans and spectators will be maintained throughout Rustenburg, park n rides, park n walk, fields fan fest, public viewing areas in our respective districts and at the stadium venue," he said.

Confederation Cup runner-up USA will play England at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace in Phokeng, outside Rustenburg on Saturday.

Yawa said crime prevention and traffic law enforcement operations had been intensified and a stadium "log-down" implemented as from Wednesday.

"All vehicles entering the stadium precinct henceforth have to go through the remote search park for a thorough scan."
