EDITOR – IT is so sad and painful that a life was lost on Saturday when Dynamos clashed with Highlanders at Barbourfields Stadium in Mzilikazi.
I read with a heavy heart that Bosso supporter Thembelenkosini Hloli died close to Renkini long distance bus terminus in skirmishes linked to the mayhem that started from Barbourfields.
His death comes exactly 10 years after a Dynamos fan Stanford Nhau, popularly known as ‘Taribo West’, died after injuries sustained in another violent clash of fans at Barbourfields.
Has Barbourfields Stadium become a death trap for football fans?
Why is it every time when Dynamos and Highlanders clash at Barbourfields, there has to be violence?
And why is it when Highlanders play Dynamos in Harare there is no violence?
I am a Highlanders supporter and sadly it seems it is us (Highlanders supporters) who are causing the problem.
Football matches must remain a family affair where soccer fans have no qualms taking children to watch their heroes.
Manje kathesi sesisesaba ukuyabonga umdlalo wenguqu eBarbourfields ngoba sisesabela impilo zethu.
Please ZIFA and PSL including community leaders in Bulawayo do something to stop Highlanders supporters from attacking others.
Akulandaba ukuthi ngozibani abaqalileyo kodwa asimelanga silahlekelwe ngumphefumulo kumbe kulimale abantu.
Ngithi kuThembelenkosini; mfowethu lala ngokuthula.
