Kaizer Chiefs charged by PSL for misconduct

According to a report by iDiskiTimes, the PSL have decided to charge Kaizer Chiefs over the unsavoury scenes caused by the club's supporters during the defeat against Sundowns.

The fans were unhappy after the match officials ruled out a late strike from Edson Castillo, which could have been an equaliser for a foul in the build-up.

The decision led to the home supporters throwing objects onto the field of play, an act against the PSL rules.

PSL prosecutor advocate Zola Majavu confirmed the league's decision to charge and fine the Soweto giants a hefty fine for their supporters' poor behaviour on Thursday morning.

"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 that now that they were convicted for this new offence, they will 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."
