Despite the stalemate in the Durban derby between AmaZulu FC and Royal AM, the action off the field was thrilling.
The situation between the two sides was so tight that on February 25, a conflict broke out between the two camps in the VIP suites of the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
A security officer who allegedly suffered injuries in the altercation with Shauwn "MaMkhize" Mkhize and her son Andile Mpisane, the bosses of Royal AM, is now thinking about legal possibilities.
ATTACKED ON DUTY

The 41-year-old guard claims MaMkhize and her son attacked him without warning, causing him to tumble to the ground. Mbanjwa claims that after he asked for accreditation, Andile, his mother, and other Royal AM members assaulted him, shoved him, beat him up, and yelled insults at him.
“I got attacked for doing my job," he says. "Andile and his mother kept asking me if I knew who they were and threatened to get me arrested. They assaulted me and people were scared to intervene because MaMkhize is known by high-profile people."

INTENT TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION
By the time MaMkhize arrived at the VIP area, according to Mbanjwa, she was already "pissed off" at how the match had ended.
“I was aware of the altercation she had with AmaZulu bosses, but I was not expecting them to attack me, especially when I asked nicely for their accreditation. There was no need for her to attack and insult me, “ he adds.
Mbanjwa says he is intending to sue MaMkhize and his crew because they have no right to do what they did.
“The following day I went to open a case of assault. I am still waiting for my case number, but yesterday I got a call from the investigator asking some questions. “
MaMkhize and her team have no authority to act in the manner they did, according to Mbanjwa, who claims he plans to sue them.
“I was hustling for my family just like she works hard for hers,” he says.
