Tight security in Durban ahead of Telkom Knockout semi-final
Management at Moses Mabhida Stadium has welcomed the Durban Regional Court's ruling against nine spectators - arrested after April's violent pitch invasion.
Around 18 security guards were injured, fires were lit in the stands and millions of rands worth of property and broadcast equipment were damaged, following a Kaizer Chiefs' loss to Free State Stars.
"All these actions are indications that if you behave in an unacceptable manner - you will be dealt with swiftly," the facility's Vusi Mazibuko said.
Mazibuko says they're calling for stiff sentences when the group appears again next month.
