In December, Kaizer Chiefs were scheduled to host Eric Tinkler’s side, but a Covid-19 outbreak at their Naturena Village meant that the club could not honour the fixture, Sports Brief earlier reported.

The club were then charged by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) for failing to honour the fixture, but they took the case up to the South African Football Association’s (SAFA) Arbitration which ruled in their favour. As a result, the PSL were ordered to reschedule Chiefs' two fixtures against Cape Town City and Golden Arrows.
