South Africa strike hits stadium work
Some 70,000 construction workers in South Africa have gone on strike, halting work on stadiums being built for the 2010 World Cup.
Unions are threatening to wreck the tournament if their demands for a 13% wage increase are not met.
Organisers say they are confident the grounds will still be ready, unless the strike continues for months.
On Monday judges rejected a request from the employers to outlaw the strike, which unions say is indefinite.
At present most of the workers are being paid 2,500 rand ($310; £192) a month.
Six entirely new stadiums are being built for the World Cup, while four are being modernised.
