Strict security at Challenge final

Posted in News on Jul 22, 2005.

The South African Police Services (SAPS) and security personnel will adopt a 'Zero Tolerance' approach to ensure that the safety and security measures put in place will make for an incident-free day's entertainment, at the Vodacom Challenge second leg action, at the Absa Stadium, in Durban on Sunday.



Vodacom Challenge Committee officials have called on supporters who are not in possession of match tickets, not to go to the Stadium.



The last of the 37 000 stand tickets plus 12 000 suite-holders tickets for the matches were sold out at Computicket outlets as early as Tuesday this week.



Supporters with match tickets are advised to arrive early at the stadium on Sunday which will be open from 07h00.



The first 8 000 supporters to enter will each receive a free Vodacom airtime voucher, valued at R29.



From a safety perspective, supporters will not be permitted to carry alcoholic beverages or sharp objects into the stadium, while bottled cold drinks will be uncapped prior to entering the venue.



With the Kudu Horn and a winner's cheque of R1 million up for grabs, inaugural winners Orlando Pirates will face three-time champions Kaizer Chiefs in the Vodacom Challenge final (15h15 kickoff) while 2004 winners A.S. Vita Club of the Democratic Republic of Congo will play off against Zambia club, Green Buffaloes (12h15 kickoff) for third place in the tournament.



The runners-up will collect R500 000 in prize money with the third and fourth placed teams set to take home R300 000 and R200 000 respectively.
