MBOMBELA - The African National Congress (ANC) managed to fill up the Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga for its 112th-anniversary celebrations, despite some logistical challenges and claims of sabotage.
Earlier on Saturday, a bus carrying ANC supporters overturned, killing six people and injuring about 18 .
There were also challenges at the entrance gates, with police taking too long to process people into the stadium.
