“I am grateful to be alive,” Maziba told Chiefs’ website.
“Everything happened so fast, I didn’t even have time to run as the mob was too strong. I am happy that Kaizer Chiefs came to see me today. It is great to see that the club cares about our well-being.”
Motaung praised the guards for being committed to their jobs.
“We are so glad that Sabelo and Khumbulani are convalescing well after they were senselessly beaten up on Saturday,” she added.
“We once again strongly condemn the brutal acts of criminality we witnessed. We need to understand that people like Sabelo and Khumbulani are there to look after our safety at stadiums, we need to respect and appreciate them.
“We commend them and their colleagues for standing in harm’s way when the situation was as volatile as it was on the day. It takes bravery to do what they did.”
“Kaizer Chiefs will keep track of Qwabe and Maziba’s recovery and wish them all the best,” concluded the club.
