Hon Speaker and hon Deputy Speaker, the ID strongly condemns the disgusting behaviour of some of the fans at this weekend's soccer match in Cape Town between Kaizer Chiefs and Ajax. Hooligans, who were unhappy with the decision of the referee, began hurling bottles and vuvuzelas onto the pitch. They ripped out more than 500 seats and threw them at the referee.
We cannot condone such disgusting behaviour by some South African fans in a country that is only 296 days away from showcasing our ability to host an internationally acclaimed event, the 2010 Fifa World Cup. We are concerned that only two unruly fans were arrested by the police, as this brings into question our ability to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
This unruly behaviour is becoming a national trend and we call on Safa to take strong action against both the clubs and the fans involved in this disgusting behaviour. I thank you. [Applause.]
