Kaizer Chiefs have been charged by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) over the unsavoury scenes in their 2-1 defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns.
The decision was confirmed on Thursday morning by PSL prosecutor advocate Zola Majavu after the clubs’ supporters through objects onto the field of play.
It took place after a late strike from Edson Castillo was ruled out due to a foul in the build-up which would have been an equaliser for the home side in the final minutes.
“I hereby confirm that earlier this morning, Kaizer Chiefs Football Club appeared before the PSL DC to answer to charges of spectator misbehaviour as a result of a missile-throwing incident on the 28th of September 2024 when they were fixtured against Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club,”, Majavu confirmed.
“They pleaded guilty as charged, and they were fined a monetary fine of 100,000 of which 50,000 is suspended on condition that during the period of suspension, which is up to the end of the season, they are not found guilty of a similar offence.
“Last season, they still had an outstanding and suspended fine of another 100,000 rands from a similar incident. Effectively, it means now that they were convicted for this new offence, they will now pay an additional 100,000 which was previously suspended.
“In total, Kaizer Chiefs will pay, effectively R150,000, plus the costs of the sitting of today, which are usually administratively computed by the league and added to the 150,000 fine.”
