Cape Town City FC were charged with failing to produce players' cards ahead of a fixture against Maritzburg United in 2021.

The club explained that they could not produce the cards after a team manager's car was broken into and the cards stolen, IOL reported.

After they pleaded guilty, the disciplinary committee then deliberated on the appropriate punishment for the club. They were then fined R100 000 for the offence, Sport24 confirmed.

Fadlu Davids and Mandla Ncikazi stepped into both roles after German manager Josef Zinnbauer abruptly resigned from the post of head coach last year. Orlando Pirates is yet to appoint a new permanent coach.

Quoted by The South African, Chabalala said that having two coaches would cause division among the players. He also added, in an interview carried by iDiski Times, that both coaches had players that they each understood well, which was unsustainable.
