On 29 July 2017, two people died and one was critically injured when a group of fans pressed themselves against a gate, during the Carling Black Label Cup match between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates at FNB stadium in Soweto, Johannesburg. Stadium Management South Africa reported that an investigation revealed that the stampede was caused by a group of fans with fake tickets trying to gain access to the match. Moreover, police managed to arrest about 3,000 fans who had counterfeit tickets in their possession at the stadium. According to the CEO Jacques Grobelaar, the tickets were printed as if they were from Computicket, a ticket marketing company. Further investigation was in progress alongside the police, who were also waiting for Computicket to respond.
