Polokwane gears up for a massive fixture this Saturday with Orlando Pirates and Marumo Gallants set to battle it out in the Carling Knockout final at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium.
The Soweto Giants are hosts in this high-stakes encounter which closes off what has been an eventful year of local football action. A massive crowd in and around the match venue is a guaranteed feature of the day’s proceedings, with all tickets already snapped up.
The magnitude of the fixture means several extra measures have been taken to ensure a safe, hassle-free match day experience.
