According to PSL Investigator Promoter Zola Majavu, Kaizer Chiefs have been punished for improper behaviour by their observers. This most recent penalty is due to events that transpired during their most recent loss against Mamelodi Nightfalls.
Fans are worried about the behaviour of Kaizer Chiefs supporters and the possibility of harsher penalties due to the ongoing misconduct of the team's sympathisers. Similar incidents at Peter Mokaba Arena and Mbombela Arena resulted in a fine of R200,000 for the group, with R50,000 suspended for an extended period of time.
Following Kaizer Bosses' confession, Majavu upheld the revised fine. Given the group's troubled past, the PSL is now considering softer punishments in the event of future problems.
The fans of the Kaizer Chiefs have created a dangerous environment by hurling objects at coaches and opposing groups, endangering the safety of the players and personnel. The PSL has taken use of the team's strengths in retaliation, mandating that they play a home game without spectators because of the repeated violations.
Unseemly fan lead has its consequences, and this new punishment serves as a clear warning. Promoting respect and fair play in South African football is the goal of the PSL's disciplinary initiatives.
Clubs should make sure their supporters act in a way that acknowledges the game and opposing groups, advocate Majavu emphasised. "We won't endure rehashed offences and will continue to go to lengths to shield the association's respectability."
While the Kaizer Chiefs deal with financial penalties and anticipated more fines, the club's management must successfully handle fan direct. If you disagree, it could lead to more drastic consequences, like playing in neutral zones.
Problems caused by onlookers will not be tolerated in South African football, since the PSL is dedicated to fighting offence.
