There were sad scenes in local football circles once again on Friday as the end of an ABC Motsepe Championship game saw fans storming onto the ground amidst reports of gunshots.
Msinga United lost 1-0 to Orbit College, and reports said that as unhappy fans ran on the field, a warning shot was fired by security personnel. However, Msinga fans responded with their own gunfire.

“At the end of the game, the Msinga United fans got onto the field and wanted to approach the referee and the match officials,” the eyewitness told News24. “One of the security personnel, I don’t whether it was the police or not, fired a warning shot in an attempt to scare off the Msinga United fans.
“However, the Msinga United fans brandished their own weapons and responded with their own warning shots. The warning shot from the security personnel was understandable with the need to protect the Orbit College during the pitch invasion.
“I think there’s some who also injured themselves with a fall while trying to scale the fence to access the field.”
Msinga’s goalkeeper coach Gezani Zondi was apparently also injured during the invasion, while he also tried to restrain the crowd from accessing the field.
