“As he was hanging by the railing, it was raining actually during the day, it was still wet, so he was slowly losing his grip. He ran and the first thing I did was grab his forearm,” Masango told Mamelodi Sundowns’ Pitchside Podcast.
“I grabbed his forearm to help him just balance, adjust his grip and hold on properly. In that moment as I do it, he says to me ‘please, please my brother, don’t do it, I have three kids’.
“That’s what went through his mind, [he thought] ‘you are about to finish me off’. He pleaded, ‘please, please my brother don’t do it’.

AFC Leopards boss reveals strategy used to fill up Nyayo Stadium for Mashemeji Derby
AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda has shared how the club managed to fill up Nyayo Stadium for the Mashemeji Derby that ended goalless against Gor Mahia.
“I said to him ‘no, no don’t worry, I won’t let you go’. I told him ‘I’m going to try lift your bag, as I’m pulling your bag, try to lift up your knees, so you can lift your legs over the barrier’.
“Did that a couple of times, eventually got it right and pulled him up. Went straight to the back, we both broke down in tears. At that moment, you’re looking at a man, who is sitting there and saying ‘I’m a father of three kids, please don’t do it’. He is thinking ‘omg, this guy is going to kill me’.
Masango then explained how even his heroic act could not stop the violence as he was still on the receiving end as he saved a life.
“The crazy thing is, even in that moment, as I’m trying to help this person, I’m still being attacked. I’m helping someone else but I’m still being attacked, bottles are being thrown at me,” he added.
“But then we went to the back, offered him some water and we both had a heartfelt moment. He was just saying ‘Thank you so, so much’.
“No football match is worth dying or fighting over and what happened yesterday was just mind boggling to me. So, let us enjoy the game, make jokes, laugh but violence, no.”
It is not known what started the violence that saw supporters break down barricades at the stadium and used part of it as their weapons, throwing them at each other.
The fighting extended to the stadium exits with a section of fans throwing stones and pieces of food at their opponents.
Police had to use tear gas canisters to try and calm the situation with some Esperance fans holed up on the pitch under police protection as they waited for the situation to calm down before going out.
