Kaizer Chiefs Face Misconduct Charges

Kaizer Chiefs have been charged for their supporters’ misconduct last weekend.

Last Sunday, 20 August, Chiefs were beaten 1-0 by TS Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga as a result of an own goal from goalkeeper Brandon Peterson in the 49th minute.

The loss marked their third failed attempt to make leeway into their 2023/2024 Premier Soccer League (PSL) campaign.

This prompted their fans to direct their frustrations at Chiefs coach, Molefi Ntseki: following his post-match press conference, they pelted him with projectiles and other objects. Ntseki was then escorted off the pitch by police officers.

As a result, Chiefs were charged by the PSL Disciplinary Committee earlier this week.

“I confirm that I preferred charges of misconduct against Kaizer Chiefs Football Club,” said Zola Majavu, the league’s official prosecutor. “This is as a result of a missile-throwing incident that transpired in the match between [Chiefs] and TS Galaxy this past Sunday. [Chiefs] have been scheduled to appear before the PSL DC on Tuesday, 29 August.

“Once the [Committee] has pronounced its verdict and the matter is finalised, I will then give a further update.”
