Chiefs Extend Apology to PSL

On Monday, Kaizer Chiefs issued a formal apology to the Premier Soccer League (PSL) for their supporters’ behaviour at matches against SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns. The Soweto giants had earlier been fined by the PSL Disciplinary Committee and warned about the possibility of playing without fans for one game if another incident occurs.

In a statement, Kaizer Chiefs unreservedly apologized to the PSL, all PSL member clubs, SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns, and their peace-loving supporters, for the behaviour of some of its supporters at the two matches. The Club condemned the behaviour in the strongest possible terms.

Kaizer Chiefs also announced that they have already commenced a process of engaging with their branches on supporter behaviour at football matches. They expressed their disappointment and embarrassment at the behaviour of a few individuals who had tarnished the Club’s reputation and that of its supporters.

The Club reaffirmed its commitment to the promotion of fair play and respect for the opposition, match officials and other supporters, and said that it would continue to engage with its supporters and stakeholders to ensure that the Club’s values are upheld at all times.
