There was furious activity in Cape Town ahead of Friday’s FIFA World Cup final draw and South African Football Association President Kirsten Nematandani said the whole world was focused on South Africa.

The draw starts in Cape Town at 7pm on Friday and will determine which teams will face off against each other in the first round.

Nematandani was hoping Bafana Bafana gets the luck of the draw.

“We have to give our best and the draw will certainly be very favourable,” said Nematandani.

At the same time, ahead of Friday’s pomp and ceremony police, producers and ordinary people were working furiously to make sure the event was a success.

The draw was seen as one of the final steps on the road to the tournament and will determine which teams will face off against each other in the first round.

The red carpet is set to be rolled out during the course of Friday.

It will be red because the Mother City was forced to can its idea of having a green eco-friendly carpet after senior FIFA officials complained.

Meanwhile, Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa and South African Police Service Chief Bheki Cele said officers were covering their entire base leaving very little room for error on Friday.

Cele warned locals who think they can take chances during the draw; officers will not hesitate to deal with them.

Cele and Mthethwa have given their assurance they pulled out all the stops to ensure officers were visible, strategically deployed and prepared to react should problems arise.

Cele said chance takers will be dealt with swiftly.

"We will have to make their lives very difficult. I know there were two incidents mentioned during Confederations Cup. Some of those guys who interfered are doing five years,” said Cele.

Cele added come 2010 special courts will be created to deal with all World Cup related matters.
