Travelers to the 2010 Soccer World Cup could be using their cellphones to gain access to the stadiums, if entrepreneur Daki Nkanyane has anything to do with it. He is the founding managing director of Tswelopele Solutions, a provider of complete and integrated technology for access management solutions, ticketing and payment solutions for stadiums, arenas, leisure parks and other entertainment venues. Tswelopele has rights to the Smartmachine technology which provides direct ticket sales, reservations and delivery via cellphones, and Nkanyane thinks that the 2010 World Cup would be a great place to showcase the technology, according to a report by City Press.
