    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    A couple of days ago, hooliganism incidents were witnessed at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium after the game between Mamelodi Sundowns and Esperance.

    A fan almost lost his life owing to the same, and the Masandawana management promised to get the course and find a solution.

    If the same happens again, some supporters might opt to stay away from the stadium which will not be good for the game.

    It will also risk the lives of players, fans, and all officials involved.

    It is interesting to see how Caf will deal with the Sundowns and Pirates incidents.
