Most countries will take a certain number of their own force over to aid the local police with dealing with their fans.
We do the same for European matches involving English clubs.

Are they given proper Policing powers or is it the same as our PCSO's?

It seems on this occassion there is only a nominal amount of officers from the uk football policing unit have been sent to south africa however heres the most in depth press release i could find, it seems their role is mostly advisory, surveillance and to further intelligence on football violance for uk games.
http://www.acpo.police.uk/pressrelease.asp?PR_GUID={19C5553D-C730-4944-AA28-959C68CEFE34}
Theres the number for the press office at the bootom of the page if your really curious too

Spotters looking for lads on bans etc.
Domestic games have pretty much always had OB on a nice jolly looking out for lads to try and justify their jobs.
