Kaizer Chiefs fans embarrassing the nation live on Television

Soccer Stadiums were filled with tears this past weekend when two South African soccer giants were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup by the so-called smaller teams.

Scenes coming from Durban were horrific and scary on Saturday night (21/04/18). Our people need to know that violence has never been an option to solve issues. Moses Mabhida Stadium was a scene of chaos on Saturday when Kaizer Chiefs lost their Nedbank Cup semi-final clash to Free State Stars.

The former Kaizer Chiefs head coach Steve Komphela ran for cover along with Free State Stars’ players and match officials after the Nedbank Cup semifinal. Stars won 2-0 and it turned violent as Chiefs fans invaded the pitch baying for Komphela’s blood shortly after the final whistle.

A security guard was badly beaten, a ball boy and several other spectators injured and millions of rands of damage sustained as angry Kaizer Chiefs fans rioted at the end of the club’s loss. The security guard, who was set upon by a group of hooligans on the pitch at the end of the game, was severely hurt, hit about the head by objects in full view of the stadium security personnel and is fighting for his life, according to colleagues.




Paramedics treated several other injuries amid the lawless carnage as fans set fire to a camera belonging to the SABC and damaged several others belonging to host broadcaster SuperSport.

Police and stadium security were overrun as fans invaded the pitch at the end of the game, heading directly for embattled Chiefs coach Steve Komphela, who quit immediately after the game.

At least two hours after the final whistle the pitch was littered with debris as the two teams delayed their departure from the venue until the majority of spectators had been cleared from precinct.

PSL Chairman Dr Irvin Khoza called for an urgent press briefing to be held on Monday (23/04/18) morning. Below are some of the events which took place at the stadium on Saturday night (21/04/18)
