condemned an incident which took place during a
South African fourth-tier match where a person
appeared to drive onto the pitch during a league
game, apparently to attack a referee. According to The Citizen, the driver was an enraged supporter who, unhappy with a refereeing decision
during an ABC Motsepe League match between
Luka Ball Controllers and Polokwane City Rovers over the weekend, attempted to attack the official
in his vehicle. The video circulated on social media on Monday,
and depicts a motorist speeding down the length of
the field to catch up with the referee, who was able
to get out of the way.
