(CNN) — South African activists are staging a “Poor People’s World Cup” to protest the exclusion of poor communities from the FIFA tournament. The Cape Town-based Anti-Eviction Campaign (AEC) says it is staging the event because most South Africans are not benefiting from the official World Cup. It says poor people can’t afford match tickets and claims traders are being stopped from trading near stadiums, and that people were evicted from their homes in the run up to the competition.
