Chiefs fined, fans could be banned from stadium

Last month, as instructed, Kaizer Chiefs posted an apology for their fans’ behaviour as told to do so by the PSL.

As reported by The South African website, the Soweto giants were ordered to post an apology on their official website, which stems from an incident following the final whistle in the Glamour Boys’ DStv Premiership defeat to TS Galaxy when fans threw missiles at coach Molefi Ntseki.

There were also further incidents of “spectator misbehaviour” in matches vs SuperSport UTD (League) & Mamelodi Sundowns (MTN8).

CASH | Former Chiefs star earning R2 million per month

Chiefs have now been fined, and could eventually face the prospect of a match having to be played behind closed door.

PSL Prosecutor Zola Majavu issued the following information.

1. Some weeks ago, Chiefs were found guilty of the same offence and fined R100k, with R30k suspended on condition that they didn’t repeat the same offence within the next 12 months. They paid R70k and now they must pay R30k as well since the offence has been repeated.

2. In respect of matches vs SSU & Sundowns, they were fined R200k of which R50k is suspended for a period of six months. So R180k must be paid immediately + costs of the sitting.

3. The errant behaviour, if repeated, will lead to a one match behind closed doors.
