“It is a matter of holistic preparations for the match, so it not a yes or no thing. The match commissioner on the day will verify what has been planned during the week and then it will be endorsed,” Maphosa told Phakaaathi.
“If there are threats then they will be incorporated into the planning, so it won’t be standalone thing or for the team to get security.”
