The Polokwane Local Municipality in Limpopo says it is investigating the cause of a power failure at the newly refurbished Seshego Stadium during a Betway Premier League match on Tuesday night.

The power outage left fans, players and officials in the dark during a clash between Magesi FC and Chippa United. It also caused the match to be abandoned.

The score was one-all.

The match was the first to be played at the stadium after the PSL approved it last month.

Municipal spokesperson Thipa Selala says necessary measures will be put in place to prevent similar incidents.

“We regret the unforeseen technical issue with the floodlights at Seshego Stadium last night. We understand the inconvenience caused and assure the public that thorough investigations are underway to identify the root cause and implement measures to prevent a recurrence. All necessary tests were conducted prior to the match.”
