A South African fan dies in a queue
In Sandton, north of Johannesburg, angry South Africans argued with police who used a vehicle to disperse the crowd.
A 64-year-old man suffered an apparent seizure as he waited in a queue in Cape Town. He was number 565 in the line for the tickets of World Cup.
Around 120,000 of the tickets are available to South Africans for £13, the lowest price at a World Cup for many years.
Ticket sales in South Africa had been below expectations until recently and soccer's governing body FIFA was criticized for selling them in a complex system over the internet which was alien to poor black soccer fans accustomed to getting tickets for cash on match days, the “Yahoo Sports” informs.
