Mayhem at North Korea Warm Up Game in South Africa

Mayhem ensued outside the stadium in Johannesburg, Saturday, as fans surged the stadium gates in an attempt to see North Korea play Nigeria. Initial reports from the scene suggested some people had died but this was later proved to be incorrect. Questions remain for FIFA – are the crowd control policies for the Finals solid enough to prevent crushing should thousands without tickets descend on the stadiums for high profile games? Africa has had its share of stadium disasters. Let’s hope the World Cup passes without any tragedy. The Chollima lost the game 3-1 and now await Brazil in their opening game.
