Kaizer Chiefs are not backing down in their fight against the Premier Soccer League (PSL) following a dispute over COVID-19 rules in the league.

The Amakhosi failed to honour two league matches due to a surge in COVID-19 cases at Naturena in December 2021 however the league rejected their request for postponement at the time.

Kaizer Chiefs have since taken a major decision ahead of a looming court battle for their six points. The Glamour Boys have acquired the services of heavyweight lawyer Norman Arendse.

“Kaizer Chiefs are preparing themselves for a bruising legal battle with the Premier Soccer League (PSL) to defend their Covid-19 matter by roping in astute legal eagle Norman Arendse SC as part of their defence team.” a SundayWorld report read.

“Arendse is a big gun who has won so many cases in sport and that’s why Chiefs went for him. This shows how serious Chiefs are taking this matter because six points are at stake now,” a source told the same publication.

Kaizer Chiefs and the Premier Soccer League are set to determine the outcome of six crucial points in the courtrooms after the league rejected the club’s request to postpone matches due to a surge in COVID-19 cases at Naturena.

“On the 2nd of December 2021, Kaizer Chiefs Football Club wrote to the Premier Soccer League (PSL) requesting ’the postponement of all our matches for December 2021’. The PSL Football Department declined the application.” a statement from the league read.

“Kaizer Chiefs referred the Football Department’s decision to the NSL Executive Committee for reconsideration and asked that the Executive Committee accedes to the club’s request for the postponement of the club’s ’remaining fixtures for December.’”

Kaizer Chiefs’ decision to rope in the services of heavyweight lawyer Norman Arendse may prove instrumental in their quest to avoid losing points.

The lawyer was recently on the winning side of a matter involving the league and Sekhukhune United over their promotion status at the beginning of the season.
