The Ellis Park Stadium Tragedy: 11.04.2001

On Wednesday 11 April 2001, we hired a combi, re le majita a Botswana, from Midrand to the Ellis Park Stadium to watch a football match between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.

My very first live match in South Africa. I did not realise then that it had affected me big time: I never went to any other football match in my 6 years in South Africa!

May their souls continue to rest in peace.
