Kaizer Chiefs Charged for Stellenbosch FC Field Invasion, PSL Accused of Double Standards

• Kaizer Chiefs will have to answer for the pitch invasion that occurred during and after the MTN 8 quarterfinal against Stellenbosch FC
• The club will appear in front of the Premier Soccer League's disciplinary committee
• This is despite the PSL itself having been in charge of the security that failed to contain the fans

Kaizer Chiefs is in a spot of bother.

The club will appear before a Premier Soccer League disciplinary committee to explain the behaviour of fans who invaded the pitch during the MTN 8 quarterfinal match against Stellenbosch FC at the Danie Craven Stadium last Sunday.

According to IOL, the league's prosecutor Zola Majavu confirmed this via a statement to the media. The PSL somehow won't have to answer for the chaos seeing that it was in charge of security on the day of the match.

The article also opined:

"The PSL also does not allow fans to run onto the pitch after matches, but last week the security stood by as fans streamed onto the playing area. Some of the fencing around the playing area were hopelessly inadequate and fans had little trouble breaching it.

"Perhaps the time has come to hold the PSL accountable when security is not up to scratch. Chiefs and Stellenbosch could start by charging the PSL for failing to provide adequate security at the Danie Craven Stadium."
