Both Durban City and Milford issued brief statements regarding the situation. Milford stated, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the match has been postponed. Further updates will be provided later this week.”

Durban City, currently leading the Motsepe Foundation Championship standings, also released a statement:

“MATCH POSTPONED

“Today’s match has been postponed due to circumstances beyond our control. The Premier Soccer League will provide an official update in due time.

“We appreciate your understanding and will keep you informed.”
