10 arrested during Soweto Derby in Durban
Police in KwaZulu-Natal have confirmed 10 arrests at the Telkom Knockout semi-final, between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, at Moses Mabhida Stadium this weekend.
They intensified their security measures for the game - following a riot that broke out in April - in which 18 security guards were hurt.
SAPS spokesperson, Thulani Zwane says this weekend's match in contrast was relatively incident-free.
"There were a number of police officers including Metro and security officers who assisted us a lot to make sure that everything is going well. We managed to arrest ten suspects for various crimes such as selling fake tickets as well as pitch invasion," Zwane said.
