Premier Soccer League Prosecutor Zola Majavu confirmed that the matter was then referred to the PSL's disciplinary committee but Cape Town City pleaded guilty to the charges, The South African confirmed.

“I can confirm that Cape Town City football was duly charged and appeared before the DC earlier today (Wednesday). The charges emanated from a protest which was lodged by Maritzburg United Football Club, in relation to a fixture that was played in the absence of the responded club being in possession of the requisite players cards.

The matter proceeded today and was almost finalised. The responded club, which is Cape Town City, pleaded guilty as charged and were duly convicted. Submissions with regard to the appropriate sanction were also made by all relevant parties and in that regard, the final sanction is reserved by the disciplinary committee, he said.

"The indication is that a sanction would be received by no later than next week Tuesday. As soon as it’s available, I will communicate it accordingly,” Majavu added.

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.
