|June 23, 2025
SPECTATORS attending an Eastern Province Club Rugby Grand Challenge game between Gardens and Progress in Kariega at the weekend have recalled hearing the gunshots that rang out when a 48-year-old man was killed behind one of the pavilions.
The incident took place at the Derrick Ferreira Stadium.
Witnesses who knew the victim, nicknamed Fudge, told the Cape Argus's sister paper, the Daily Voice, that he was employed at automotive component manufacturer, Dana, in Kariega.
Supporters of the clubs who attended the game said the incident took place in the final minutes of the game after a referee called off the game when fans stormed the field.
Progress were leading 13-8 at the time with Gardens, the home team, on the attack when one of the Progress players made a tackle on one of their players just short of the tryline.
