Kaizer Chiefs have been found guilty and fined R150,000 by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) for their fans’ misbehaviour during the club’s 4-0 drubbing by Mamelodi Sundowns in the Carling Knockout Cup early this month.
PSL prosecutor Zola Majavu said Chiefs were fined R200,000 with R100,000 suspended.
The other R50,000 comes from the suspended fine when Chiefs were fined early in the season for a similar offence in a Betway Premiership match which Sundowns won 2-1.
Both matches were played at the FNB Stadium, the home of Amakhosi.
“Chiefs pleaded guilty as charged and having listened to submissions with regard to appropriate sanction, the PSL ruled: first, that Kaizer Chiefs is fined R200,000 of which half is suspended for the next 12 months on condition that in the period of suspension they’re not found guilty of the same offence; second, three [months] ago Kaizer Chiefs appeared before the PSL disciplinary committee (DC) on exactly the same charges.
