Police in KwaZulu-Natal have arrested a man who threatened to shut down Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban and stop the MTN8 final between Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.
The suspect, identified as MaGolide, was arrested about two hours before the match. Police said he had gathered a group of protesters at King Dinuzulu Park with the aim of marching to the stadium to carry out the shutdown.
Those who were with him ran away when police moved in.
Police have reiterated that anyone who threatens to cause instability will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
