Chiefs have pleaded and been found guilty for a third time by the PSL Disciplinary Committee for misconduct by a faction of their supporters in matches against TS Galaxy, SuperSport United and more recently, AmaZulu.
The latest action saw PSL prosectuor Zola Majavu slap the club with a R300 000 fine, which is 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.
Chiefs in turn, released a statement on the matter revealing that they are taking stern action against supporters who are the perpetrators of this misconduct.
"Decisive action has been taken and criminal charges have been instituted against those who have been identified to be responsible for this unacceptable behaviour in the games at Mbombela Stadium against TS Galaxy, Peter Mokaba stadium against SuperSport United and FNB Stadium against AmaZulu. The culprits will be facing charges of public violence and malicious damage to property.
We have shared pictures and video footage with the law enforcement agencies and we expect arrests soon. We are thankful to our stakeholders who have assisted in identifying these perpetrators. We trust these fans are dealt with harshly so that this can send a strong message to other fans who come to games to cause destruction and harm at our football matches.
We acknowledge all our supporters who have come to the stadium and left peacefully and did not allow their feelings to manifest in unruly and violent behaviour. We encourage them to continue conducting themselves like true Amakhosi supporters and help ensure safety of all other supporters in the stadium around the country," the statement said in part.
