Johannesburg - Flights around Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula will be restricted during the final draw for the 2010 World Cup, police said on Monday.
"One of the security measures to be implemented is the temporary restriction of airspace during certain periods in the vicinity of the Cape peninsula and Robben Island," said SA Police Service spokesperson Director Sally de Beer in a statement.
"The aim of the temporary flight restriction... is to ensure maximum safety with minimum disruption to the community."
The restrictions will affect air traffic up to December 6. The final draw takes place on December 4.
The restrictions will not affect scheduled flights or state flights. Pilots wishing to fly in the restricted area must apply for authorisation at least 24 hours in advance.
