Germany, Ghana's opponents at the World Cup in South Africa in June, have been asked to change their hotel during the tournament due to safety concerns.
South African security authorities asked the European country to drop the hotel it is planning to stay at during the World Cup because of security fears.
The South African Times reported the story, citing an official in Police General Bheki Cele’s office who didn’t want to be identified.
The building of the four-star Velmore Hotel on the outskirts of the capital, Pretoria, was not approved by local government.
The Johannesburg-based newspaper reported the news without specifying if the safety concerns were related to insecure structures.
The FIFA World Cup is due to run from June 11 to July 11.
Ghana have been placed in the same group as the Germans and the Black Stars have already confirmed their base as Nelspruit.
Meanwhile, World Cup bosses have been warned to expect a media backlash in Germany in the wake of a report claiming South African security agencies warned the German national team to change hotels, citing safety concerns.
An article published yesterday quotes an unnamed Fifa official who says there were "safety issues" at the Velmore Hotel in Centurion, without going into detail.
Another source said the hotel had not had its building plans approved, which created a problem for the police "because the building was illegal".
The South African Fifa media team said, despite the controversy in the media, Velmore would serve as the German base camp.
"To date we have no indication that the team will move from the Velmore Hotel."
