The World Cup has gone on display in Cape Town, ahead of its nationwide tour of South Africa.

The solid gold trophy was unveiled in the Khayelitsha township, on the Cape Flats outside Cape Town. It followed an unexpected visit a day earlier by South Africa's former president Nelson Mandela.

Hundreds of football fans turned out to catch a glimpse of the trophy on Friday. Many were waving South African flags and wearing brightly colored costumes.
