Police in Johannesburg have confirmed replica World Cup trophies have been stolen from FIFA's temporary headquarters.

National police commissioner Bheki Cele said: "We knew that there was a theft and we are investigating."

La Repubblica claims the trophies were replicas of the cup that will take centre stage at the Soccer City final in Johannesburg on July 11.

As well as the trophies, sports equipment was also lifted by the thieves.

The police also confirmed that 316 people, 207 of South African origin, have been arrested for World Cup-related crimes since the start of the tournament.

I have seen them oooo  , i am just praying that we should not be in this because that will be final nail to our coffin.  

comment from Goal.com:

whichever gang stole the replica cups should have a nigerian as their ring leader.they are so good in stunts like this.they can make a whole train disappear. thank goodnes that they didnt steal one of the stadiums!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

Thank you my brother because for all our short coming, we are not daft to this extent.

Even the militants promised to behave themselves during the under 17 world cup.

IRAPADA:

Nawa o,abi na original dem thief whey dey tel us say na replica

I thought i was the only one thinking towards that direction, but they should just resolve this thing silently abeg.

I'm sure my Naija men are responsible for this

One major problem of SA is to keep blaming foreigners for all their problems!

That's why 15 years into their 'freedom' they're still not free!!

This na crazy oo. Why should Nigerians be scared if a world cup replica is missing? You dey fear

is this for real? na lie i DIDN'T SEE IT ON THE NEWS

South Africa is not a secure country at all. Now everybody is a witness. It's not the first time this kind of stuff happen there. Sometime in the 90's thieves came into a boxing ring and stole the suitecase of cash which was on parade for the boxing (context winner).

Just look at how thieves killed their best musician Lucky Dube (one of the best musician of all times).

Why should any sane Nigerian be in South Africa?
