Kaizer Chiefs were granted a DStv Premiership lifeline on Friday when they won an arbitration ruling regarding the two matches last December that they failed to show up for after an outbreak of Covid-19 at Naturena.

The Glamour Boys will next be in action away to Chippa United on Saturday, 2 April at 17:00 – unless one of those two matches against Cape Town City FC and, coincidently, Golden Arrows, are scheduled prior to their trip to face the Chilli Boys.
