A military cannon belonging to the SA national defence force has crashed through the barriers at the Supersport Park in Centurion on Thursday and ended on the pitch.

SANDF spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said the crash happened a day after the cricket Test concluded.

“Luckily the stadium was empty when the incident happened and no one got hurt,” he said.

“This happened while they (military) were demobilising the static display that was at the stadium during the second Test match between the Proteas and India.”

Dlamini said the details on what caused the crash were not available

Titans CEO Jacques Faul told Rekord on Friday that no scheduled games at the stadium would be moved or postponed.

“Nothing major was damaged thankfully, it was only the LED that was damaged. These things happen and you can’t really blame it on anyone”

Faul thanked the SANDF for keeping the Centurion crowd entertained throughout the second Test match during which Pretoria-based player Lungi Ngidi inspired the Proteas to a 135 runs victory over India.

The third and final test match between SA and India tarts at the Bidvest Wanderers next Thursday.
