Kaizer Chiefs will not honour their match against Golden Arrows in the DSTV Premiership. This is due to a severe rise in covid-19 cases in their training camp.
The club announced that as many as 36 people have tested positive for the coronavirus over the past weekend. As a result, they did not play Cape Town City on the weekend.
They will not play Golden Arrows today. They pleaded with the PSL to postpone their other matches against Royal AM and Maritzburg United, which fell on deaf ears.
“Kaizer Chiefs doctors continue to keep a close eye on the situation and have imposed strict protocols in the hope of alleviating the crisis in the coming week, as more people are expected to come out of isolation.
“In conclusion, we value the lives of our players, staff, their families, supporters and the country at large. We continue to operate in a safe environment that will not knowingly endanger people’s lives.
“It must be noted that Kaizer Chiefs has never in the past and will never play with positive Covid cases. We will also not endanger the lives of Citizens of this country by engaging in air travel from a province with the highest number of infections to another.
“We call on responsible behaviour and the need to act as leaders as we deal with this pandemic and these extraordinary circumstances.” The club statement confirmed.
