Mbalula: Our books have been audited

Johannesburg - All 2010 Soccer World Cup funds were accounted for and audited, sport minister said on Thursday, and the government was yet to receive an indictment from US prosecutors involving South Africans.

"Our financial records and books for the 2010/2011 financial year and those before and after the World Cup have been audited by the Auditor General of South Africa and no such amount has been found," Minister of Sport Fikile Mbalula told journalists.

Mbalula was speaking a day after the game was plunged into turmoil following the arrest of senior officials - although not FIFA President Sepp Blatter - on US corruption charges.
