Officials appeal for peace during Kabelano

Officials of Mochudi Centre Chiefs and Township Rollers have appealed to their supporters to behave themselves during the Orange Kabelano Charity Cup at the National Stadium tomorrow.

The two-blood rivals meet in the second semi-final at 11.30am in the one-day spectacular after the first game between Notwane and Gaborone United.
Chiefs and Rollers' supporters are notorious for fighting each other, perhaps because they sit in adjacent stands on the northern side of the stadium. About five years ago during the Kabelano Charity Cup, a number of people were injured seriously in a fight between Chiefs and Rollers' supporters. But things seem to have improved of late since Rollers' return from the lower division almost three seasons back.

 
But officials from both sides are not taking chances and have pleaded with supporters not to engage in hooliganism. "Both sets of supporters should behave well on Saturday. It is important for the supporters to understand the motive of this day. They have to go out there to enjoy football and accept the outcome," said Chiefs' publicity officer Clifford Mogomotsi yesterday. He added that hooliganism is not tolerated and they will have marshals to ensure that nobody misbehaves.
