Nelson Mandela Bay stadium: robbery at sports bar after Lions match

According to "The Herald" (PE local newspaper) thought to be bogus cops robbed one of the sports bars at the new Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth right after the rugby match between the Southern Kings and the touring British & Irish Lions. A barman was robbed at gunpoint, no more incidents were reported.
The match was the first official sports event in the 48,000 pax capacity stadium, the first of five new World Cup stadiums to be completed earlier this month. Because of certain delays and other problems the stadium got axed from FIFA a hosting stadium for the ongoing Confederations Cup.

btw - check the comments made about the article in "The Herald"... interesting...
