South Africans have been warned not to attempt to go to see Nelson Mandela's body in the capital, Pretoria, unless they are already in the queue.

The anti-apartheid leader's body is lying in state at the Union Buildings, where he was sworn in as South Africa's first black president in 1994.

More than 50,000 people were waiting for buses when the warning came. Mandela will be buried at his ancestral home in Qunu on Sunday. He died on 5 December aged 95.  -- BBC
