PSL drops the hammer down on Kaizer Chiefs, charges club for not honouring fixtures

New Premier Soccer League prosecutor Zola Majavu has wasted no time in attending to pressing legal matters, charging Kaizer Chiefs for not honouring two fixtures last month, Sports Brief earlier reported.

The Amakhosi failed to pitch up for clashes against Cape Town City and Golden Arrows because of a Covid-19 outbreak at the club which laid 36 players and staff low. As a result, they had requested these and other fixtures to be postponed by the PSL, which the governing body declined.

When the Premier Soccer League prosecutor Zola Majavu took over the job he could not provide a timeline for when the matter would be resolved, but then took action almost immediately. KickOff reported that the league would now charge Chiefs for their actions in the coming days.
