Two people allegedly involved in the violence that broke out at Moses Mabhida Stadium in April handed themselves over to local SAPS.

TWO people handed themselves over to detectives in connection with the pitch invasion and violence at Moses Mabhida Stadium on 21 April.

Both suspects appeared in the Durban Magistrate’s Court yesterday on charges of public violence. The 29-year-old and the 27-year-old made a brief court appearance and were each granted R1 000 bail.

The duo will join the seven other co-accused when they appear in court on 25 May.

“We are encouraged by the fact that the accused have handed themselves over and are co-operating with investigators and prosecutors. We are confident that the outstanding suspects will do the same. Warrants of arrest will be obtained to arrest those that do not hand themselves over shortly,” said KZN SAPS media liaison, Brigadier Jay Naicker.

Naicker appealed to those who were injured in the stadium violence to also contact the investigating team’s Detective Captain Reddy on 082 458 5630 or Detective Warrant Officer Mlungwana on 082 662 7764.
