Thousands of football fans have rushed the gates at a World Cup stadium holding a warm-up match between Nigeria and North Korea.
Several fans could be seen falling under the stampede of people outside the 10,000-seater Makhulong Stadium in Johannesburg.
The first rush came when the gates were opened to allow fans into the stadium.
Police quickly closed the gates, but when they were reopened, a second rush occurred, with more people falling under the crush of bodies.
Shortly after the second rush, the gates were closed again and much of the crowd dispersed.
A policeman was hurt in the crush and was taken away on a stretcher.
Other fans appeared to have suffered minor injuries in the crush.
The Nigeria and North Korea teams were lining up for the national anthems when the incident happened, and had no idea what was going on outside the gates.
Last year, FIFA fined Ivory Coast's football federation $46,800 (around £30,000) after 22 people died in a stampede at a World Cup qualifying match
