Johannesburg - It is illogical to question South Africa's safety standards for the World Cup based on the attack on the Togolese soccer team in Angola, 2010 Local Organising Committee CEO Danny Jordaan said on Tuesday."We are convinced we'll deliver the World Cup in an efficient, professional and safe manner."The event in Angola had absolutely nothing to do with South Africa and the World Cup. Angola has its own sovereign state with its own military so if there a security breach in Finland we are not going to ask England to explain... it's illogical and if we apply that, it's double standards," he said.Jordaan was addressing the media at SAFA House in Nasrec, Johannesburg following the attack that raised questions about South Africa's safety standards and its preparedness to host the World Cup in June.Togo's national team was attacked soon after their arrival in Cabinda, Angola on Friday. The ambush on the team's bus killed an assistant coach, a team spokesman and the bus driver. Eight others were wounded. The team's goalkeeper, Kodjovi "Dodji" Obilale, was airlifted to Johannesburg's Milpark hospital following the attack and was in a stable condition there following surgery.
