Chiefs are set to appear before a disciplinary committee due to “spectator misbehaviour”, which could result in a stadium ban for fans.

Last month, Kaizer Chiefs posted an apology for their fans’ behaviour as told to do so by the PSL, having been found guilty of “spectator misbehaviour”, which could result in a future stadium ban for fans if issues arise again.
As reported by The South African website, the Soweto giants were ordered to post an apology on their official website, which stems from an incident following the final whistle in the Glamour Boys’ DStv Premiership defeat to TS Galaxy when fans threw missiles at coach Molefi Ntseki.
There were also further incidents of “spectator misbehaviour” in matches vs SuperSport United (League) and Mamelodi Sundowns (MTN8).
Having not taken any warnings to heart, fans again threw objects aimed at the club’s former coach Molefi Ntseki when the Glamour Boys were eliminated from the Carling Knockout by AmaZulu earlier this month.

PSL prosecutor Zola Majavu subsequently announced that action will be taken against Amakhosi, and that day has now arrived.
“I preferred charges of spectator misbehaviour and unruly conduct Kaizer Chiefs Football Club as a sequel to what transpired in their recent match against AmaZulu this past Saturday,” the PSL DC through their advocate Majavu confirmed recently
“They will be appearing before the PSL DC on 31 October 2023 at 11:30 AM. Until then as per usual there will be no running commentary on the matter and I will formally announce the outcome once the PSL DC has pronounced itself on the matter.”

Chiefs have previously been fined, and could eventually face the prospect of a match having to be played behind closed doors.
PSL Prosecutor Zola Majavu issued the following information.
1. Some weeks ago, Chiefs were found guilty of the same offence and fined R100k, with R30k suspended on condition that they didn’t repeat the same offence within the next 12 months. They paid R70k and now they must pay R30k as well since the offence has been repeated.
2. In respect of matches vs SSU & Sundowns, they were fined R200k of which R50k is suspended for a period of six months. So R180k must be paid immediately + costs of the sitting.
3. The errant behaviour, if repeated, will lead to a one match behind closed doors.
