Does this video spell the end of the vuvuzela? When referee Mfiki found himself on the wrong end of a plastic trumpet.

THIS is the moment that could spell the end for South Africa's controversial vuvuzela.

At the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday, the fan in the video - in Golden Arrows green with a green vuvuzela but carrying a Kaizer Chiefs flag - attacked referee Lwandile Mfiki.

A second apparent AmaKhosi fan also tried to leap the fence. Trouble broke out after Mfiki, who also disallowed a Chiefs goal for a spurious off-side, sent off Chiefs midfielder Reneilwe Letsholonyane for a dangerous tackle. Most analysts felt it was a harsh punishment for the popular Bafana Bafana midfielder, best known as YeYe.

The match ended 0-0, enabling PSL leaders Chiefs to move eight points ahead of arch-rivals Orlando Pirates - but the Buccaneers have two games in hand.
