South African football fans joke about the stolen Telkom Knockout Cup final trophy

Mamelodi Sundowns take on Maritzburg United in the Telkom Knockout Cup final at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday evening.

Instead of talking about the tactics and the upcoming battle on the field, social media was flooded with comments on the strange event which happened on Friday.

This is when a Quantum Toyota vehicle was stolen, carrying a Telkom Knockout Cup trophy and dozens of tickets. Though, this was reportedly a replica of the actual trophy.

This particular stolen trophy was used for promoting the competition but is not the same award which will be presented to the players at the end of the final.
