SANCO calls for lifetime ban of those responsible for Moses Mabhida Stadium violence
23 April 2018
The South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) has called for a lifetime ban for the supporters who took to the field on Saturday at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban where property was damaged and a security guard was severely assaulted.
The game between Kaizer Chiefs and Free State Stars descended into chaos when fans invaded the pitch following the Kaizer Chiefs' 2-0 loss during a Nedbank Cup semi-final.
SANCO national spokesperson Jabu Mahlangu called on authorities to identify and ban those responsible.
"The culture of violence and hooliganism at sporting events must be nipped in the bud through harsh action and criminal charges against those responsible for the abhorrent behaviour," he said.
