In spite of a ruling by an arbitrator in favour of Kaizer Chiefs, the drawn-out saga between Amakhosi and the Premier Soccer League is set to proceed into extra-time.
Despite earlier communication from league prosecutor Zola Majavu that should the arbitrator in the Premier Soccer League’s misconduct case against Kaizer Chiefs rule in favour of the Soweto side, it will be the end of the matter, the prosecutor has since confirmed that his employers intend to go against their own handbook and challenge the ruling made by Nazeer Cassim SC.justified
“The matter was previously postponed to between the 28th and 30th of March 2022 on the understanding and pending the finalisation of the arbitration,” said Majavu. “The arbitrator has since ruled on this matter, on the 18th of March 2022. Thereafter the league indicated that they would take the ruling on review.”
They asked for the two clashes, and two others in December, to be postponed by the league. The league refused on the basis that the different club chairmen had agreed prior to the 2020/2021 season that Covid-19 would not constitute the “extraordinary circumstances” requisite for the league to postpone a game.
“If it [the arbitration ruling] has gone in favour of Chiefs that may be the end of that matter and this case would then be regarded as definitively resolved, as the outcome of the arbitration is final and binding, and not appealable.”
