Kaizer Chiefs have been found guilty and been sanctioned by the Premier Soccer League for “fielding” two ineligible players against Sekhukhune United.

Both DDC players Aiden McCarthy and Mduduzi Shabalala were on the bench in their 2-0 over Sekhkhune in December, which was the club’s first game after their Covid-19 crisis.

PSL prosecutor Zola Majavu confirmed on Friday that Chiefs pleaded guilty and received fines for the incident.

“I can confirm that Kaiser Chiefs Football Club appeared before the PSL DC earlier today to answer two charges of fielding ineligible players in the names of Aiden McCarthy and Mduduzi Tshabalala in a fixture between themselves and Sekhkhune,” Majavu said in a statement.

“Kaizer Chiefs Football Club pleaded guilty and was subsequently convicted as such. Having listened to the submissions made by the prosecutor on behalf of the League, as well as the legal representative on behalf of Kaiser Chiefs and the respondents, the PSL DC ruled as follows with regard to sanction:

“1) in respect of Kazer Chiefs: Kaizer Chiefs was fined a monetary amount of R200 000 – 50% of which is suspended for a period of 12 months on condition that during the period of suspension, they are not found guilty of the same offense. In effect, they have to pay R100 000.

“2) With regard to the second and third respondents which are the players themselves, they were both fined a monetary amount of R10,000, which amount was wholly suspended for a period of 12 months on condition that during the period of suspension, they are found guilty of the same offense recognition was had regard to the fact that they are not necessarily professional players and thus employed on a remunerative basis.

“3) And then the Football Club, which is Kaizer Chiefs, was further ordered to pay the cost of the two sittings. Which costs would be administratively computed by the league and forwarded to the respondent for onward payment.”
