Kaizer Chiefs have issued a letter of apology to the Premier Soccer League over the renewed crowd trouble at their games against SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns, condemning their supporters’ behaviour.
Amakhosi were slapped with a R200,000 fine with R50,000 suspended over a period of six months on condition of not being found guilty of the same offence.
The behaviour following their 1-0 defeat to Matsatsantsa at the Peter Mokaba Stadium was a second offence after similar events had already transpired at Mbombela Stadium earlier in the season.
Another “missile probing incident” took place during the MTN8 semi-final against Sundowns at Lucas Moripe Stadium and Amakhosi have now published a letter on their website to apologise on behalf of their supporters.
You can read the full letter below:
