“I hereby confirm that Kaizer Chiefs has been charged for fielding two defaulters, namely, Aden McCarthy and Mduduzi Shabalala, in a match between themselves and Sekhukhune,” said Majavu in a statement.

“These players were not properly registered for purposes of the DStv Premiership league but were registered for purposes of the reserve league; that is the basis of the allegations which they are facing.

“The matter has been enrolled for hearing on the 14th of April 2022 at 14:00. Once the matter is finalised, I will confirm the outcome of the DC,” concluded McCarthy.
