PIRATES MATCH TO GO AHEAD
Orlando Pirates' match against Etoile de Sahel will go ahead as planned in the city of Sousse some 90 minutes drive away from Tunis.
This comes after a suspected terrorists bomb blast in Tunis on Tuesday denoted and claimed the lives of 13 army officers.A state of emergency has been declared by the head of state in an effort to curb more bloodshed and contain the crisis.The border with war torn neighbours Libya has been closed and a reinforced surveillance of maritime borders and airports increased.
The final will now be played two hours earlier and will now start at 16h00 South African time instead of initial 20h30.Sahel initiated the request after the government announce a nationwide night curfew on Wednesday.
Confederation of African Football approved the request and now the Buccaneers will battle the 'Red Devils'in the sweltering heat of Sousse.
12000 tickets have been available for the 28000 capacity Olympic Stadium because of fear of an outbreak of political violence .
This might work in Buccaneers favour just like in the semi finals in Egypt where they played in an empty Cairo Stadium and emerged victorious against the mighty Al Ahly.
Habashweeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
