Kaizer Chiefs have announced that they are unable to honour their DStv Premiership match against Cape Town City at the FNB Stadium in Nasrec, Johannesburg, on Saturday (18h00). 

Amakhosi wrote to the Premier Soccer League (PSL) on Friday morning asking for the postponement of their five matches starting with the Citizens clash.  

This came after COVID-19 hit Chiefs hard with no less than 31 personnel testing positive for the coronavirus. And as a result of that, Kaizer Chiefs Village has temporarily been closed until next week. 

“Unfortunately, this is the only option available in the current situation and as a responsible corporate citizen Kaizer Chiefs upholds its duty to protect the lives of those around us and do our best to avoid an outbreak that might potentially affect the league and the country,” a Chiefs statement said.

Amakhosi asked the PSL to postpone matches against the Citizens, Lamontville Golden Arrows (Wednesday, 8 December), Sekhukhune United (Sunday, 12 December), Royal AM (Sunday, 19 December) and Maritzburg United (Wednesday, 22 December).
