Also on the continent, South Africa's Premier Soccer League has apologized for a pitch invasion which led to violence and destruction of property during a game in Durban on Saturday. According to the nation's footballing chief's inadequate security was to blame for the incident and a thorough investigation is set to be launched. CGTN's Yolisa Njamela has more details.

These were the ugly scenes at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban after the final whistle. Once it was confirmed that Kaizer Chiefs had lost 2 nil to Free State Stars in a Nedbank Semi final march on Saturday night - fans lit fires in the stands, threw bottles onto the pitch and proceeded to invade the pitch. Some even destroyed television apparatus while others stole some equipment. The league is now calling for those responsible to face the might of the law. At least two people have been arrested thus far.

IRVIN KHOZA PREMIER SOCCER LEAGUE CHAIRMAN "I want to make it loud and clear that there's place, no justification for violence in football or in our society, no place. The damage that these senseless acts of violence caused, take more than a generation to correct."

Khoza apologized to all stakeholders, sponsors, broadcasters and those injured in the event. He placed the blame firmly on criminal elements who attend games. And lax security.

IRVIN KHOZA PREMIER SOCCER LEAGUE CHAIRMAN "These acts are not coincidental, they are deliberate, premeditated and orchestrated by people who's aim is criminality, infringement of the majority who are peace loving and law abiding. If ever there was a preponderance of people going to the stadium with liquor and with guns, it means the searching is a problem."

YOLISA NJAMELA JOHANNESBURG South Africa prides itself on having one of the best-run soccer leagues on the African continent. But in the past few months alone, there have been worrying pitch invasion incidents.

COUDJOE AMANKWAA SPORTS ANALYST "It is of great concern given the fact that this is the most professionally run league on the African continent. It attracts players from both Africa and South America into the league. It's very well resourced as a result a lot of the leagues on the continent look up to South Africa but of late, in terms of how the fans are behaving, it's becoming a great concern. It's a question of football and football being an emotional sport. It's very unfortunate."

The PSL has promised a thorough investigation, and severe consequences for anyone involved in the the violence. Yolisa Njamela, CGTN, Johannesburg, South Africa.
