The 63-year-old former Bafana Bafana coach said the people who perished on April 11‚ 2001 – exactly 18 years ago – should never be forgotten as they paid the biggest price with their lives while trying to go and watch their favourite teams in the Soweto derby between Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
“It must be remembered as a lesson for all of us going forward‚ that something like this must never ever happen again. Igesund‚ who also won the league with Manning Rangers‚ Santos and Mamelodi Sundowns before two years coaching Bafana‚ said he never expected the tragedy to unfold and was surprised when the game had to be stopped.
