SEOUL, March 16 (Yonhap) -- South Korea is trying to confirm its intelligence that North Korean workers are in South Africa to help put the final touches on World Cup stadiums there, after organizers in Johannesburg denied such involvement, an official here said Tuesday.

South Korean officials and media reports said Monday North Korea has sent workers to South Africa to earn foreign currency by helping the country prepare for the upcoming World Cup finals in June.
