- Kaizer Chiefs have finally received the dates and times for their rescheduled games from the Premier Soccer League
- Kaizer Chiefs will play the rescheduled games against Lamontville Golden Arrows and Cape Town City in the space of three days
- Cape Town City have given the Premier Soccer League until Tuesday to respond to their protest over replaying the game
Kaizer Chiefs have a busy fixture list ahead of them as the Soweto club will contest four games in 10 days.
Two of those games are the rescheduled fixtures against Cape Town City and Golden Arrows.
The Amakhosi released a statement in which they confirmed the dates and times for the fixtures, iDiskiTimes reported.
The first of the games will be an away match against Lamontville Golden Arrows, which will be played on 27 April at 3pm. The second game, a home game against Cape Town City, will take place on 30 April at 3pm.
Four days before their clash against Golden Arrows, Chiefs will play Stellenbosch FC. Three days after the Cape Town City game, they host Marumo Gallants.
The four games could significantly impact Chiefs’ aspirations this season. The club are still chasing the second spot in the DStv Premiership but face strong opposition from Royal AM, Cape Town City and Orlando Pirates. Stellenbosch FC are also in contention if they beat the Amakhosi.
However, the fixture list could change again as Cape Town City are unhappy with the ruling. The Mother City club have launched an official protest against the fact that they have to replay their fixture against the Amakhosi, The South African reported. Cape Town City have given the Premier Soccer League until next week Tuesday to respond to their protest.
