Along with dealing with security , the guards handle tickets -- so a strike delayed the start of Monday 's match between world champions Italy and Paraguay in Cape Town . Local police had to be brought in to the stadium to handle security . Protesters were out again Tuesday outside of Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban . Protesters sang and dance , some holding placards that read : `` We want our money and then we will feel it . '' The strikes have been frowned upon by tournament organizers , but FIFA did not immediately respond for a request for comment . `` Although we have respect for workers ' rights , we find it unacceptable for them to disrupt match-day proceedings and will not hesitate to take action in such instances , '' Danny Jordaan , the CEO of South Africa 's World Cup organizing committee told South Africa 's news agency News 24 . CNN 's Robyn Curnow contributed to this report .
