On Saturday, Kaizer Chiefs took stern action against some of their supporters whose behaviour led to the club being found guilty for a third time by the PSL Disciplinary Committee. The club was fined R300 000, wholly suspended for a period of six months, whilst their sanctions of a R50 000 fine and a possible lockout were contravened and came into action.
In response to the incident, Chiefs released a statement saying that criminal charges have been instituted against those responsible for the misconduct in the games against TS Galaxy, SuperSport United and AmaZulu. The statement also thanked the stakeholders who assisted in identifying the perpetrators and urged law enforcement agencies to take decisive action.
The statement further encouraged supporters to conduct themselves like true Amakhosi supporters and help ensure safety of all other supporters in the stadium. It also thanked all those who had come to the stadium and left peacefully.
