HARARE, Zimbabwe- A pitch invasion by a swarm of bees brought a premature end to a lower league match in south-eastern Zimbabwe, state daily The Herald reported today.
“A swarm of bees invaded the pitch after 23 minutes and sent everyone scurrying for cover on the ground,” The Herald reported.
“The bees would not go away and after a 45-minute wait the referee decided to call off the match.”
Sunday’s match was between Division One sides Hippo Valley and Mutare Farm Supply at the Chishamiso stadium, which means 'miracle' in the local Shona language.
