  • The Premier Soccer League's prosecutor Zola Majavu has updated interested parties about the matter of Kaizer Chiefs not honouring two DStv Premiership fixtures in December
  • In short, the matter will be postponed further, with Majavu saying that it would be heard during a sitting tomorrow
  • The Amakhosi's playing personnel and coaching staff were laid low by a Covid-19 outbreak within the club, seeing them not pitching up against Cape Town City and Golden Arrows

Majavu told The Citizen:

“The matter concerning Kaizer Chiefs will indeed be before the DC on the 25th of February 2022 whereafter it may well be postponed further on the basis that the arbitration has yet to be finalised."
“However the matter must still be ventilated within the PSL DC, which would then give further directives as it may deem fit."

The prosecutor also stated that four clubs had been cautioned by the league for not following Covid-19 protocols, saying:

“There have been four clubs that have been issued letters of reprimand for failure to comply with Covid related protocols. (And) Even though the league has not issued them with fines, we regarded the matters sufficiently important to bring to the attention of the affected clubs so that in future if they do not heed the warning, then formal charges will be preferred against them.”

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs marketing director Jessica Motaung was confident that the club would emerge victorious in the case. She was speaking at a media briefing held at Kaizer Chiefs Village in Naturena.

Motaung said to the Daily Sun:

"We are confident of winning the case because we followed the laws and did what was best for everyone. We look forward to winning the case, and we have nothing to worry about. The case is ongoing, but we followed the rules of the country.
"We care about our players and the opposition, and Covid-19 put us under pressure, and we could not risk our team.”

DStv Premiership: Kaizer Chiefs accepts that league title is over, sets Stuart Baxter top three target

Kaizer Chiefs has finally accepted what everyone else knew in that Mamelodi Sundowns will win its fifth consecutive DStv Premiership title.

As reported on Sports Brief, the Amakhosi are 19 points behind the runaway log leaders, and it would take a monumental collapse for anyone else to catch up to them.

With this in mind, Chiefs management has adjusted its goals for the remainder of the season.
