Kwa Zulu Natal police have recovered a replica of the Telkom Knockout trophy, after unknown men held up security guards at a bed and breakfast in Durban on Friday and stole a Toyota Quantum.
Police were immediately alerted and the Provincial Vehicle Task Team, as well as a tracking company, responded swiftly.
The police officers gave chase and the vehicle was found abandoned in Lindelani.
When police found the vehicle they discovered a Telkom Knockout trophy and 49 tickets to Saturday's final inside the vehicle.
Officials at Telkom have confirmed that the trophy is a replica used for promoting the event.
