Ticketing platform Mookh Africa has blamed a bot attack for widespread glitches preventing fans from purchasing tickets for the highly anticipated Kenya vs Madagascar quarter-final match in the African Nations Championships (CHAN).

• Sales for the match, scheduled for Friday, August 22, were overwhelmed by automated bots.
• Mookh Africa confirmed their system was temporarily down on Tuesday, August 19, due to bots and genuine purchasers.
• The company stated its technical team is actively working on a resolution to ensure tickets go to fans, not bots.
