Pitch invaders must be criminally charged

This has soiled the local football brand while at the same time, it has compromised the safety of playing and supporting staff. The Zebras’ games are never short of such antics from fans as recently the Orange FA Cup final between Gaborone United and Orapa United had supporters invading the pitch once again at full time.

This weekend, pitch invasion reached its peak during the international friendly match between Township Rollers and Kaizer Chiefs. The two teams command a huge following and it was evident as the National Stadium was filled to near-capacity. It was anticipated that some supporters would invade the pitch at full-time. By the second half, the match announcer consistently reminded the crowd to desist from going onto the field. The fans, can somehow not be faulted as no one couldn't resist a picture moment or a handshake with their stars.
