Cape Town City have been fined R100,000, half of which was suspended, in the disciplinary committee (DC) hearing for the match they played against Maritzburg United without having player registration cards.
Maritzburg chair Farook Kadodia, though, said his club would review the decision and consult their lawyers on whether to appeal it.
United played under protest after pressure on the club from the league, who allegedly told the KwaZulu-Natal team the needs of the broadcaster, DStv, had to be satisfied. PSL prosecutor Zola Majavu said in an audio press release on Monday evening that the sanctions handed out were: “The respondent — Cape Town City — is fined R100,000, half of which is suspended for 12 months on condition that the club is not found guilty of the same offence, and the balance of the 50% is payable within 30 days.“Third, Cape Town City is ordered to pay the costs of the DC hearing to the PSL.
Kadodia said United would consider an appeal, as it was his club’s belief that the PSL compliance manual stipulates that if a team does not have its player cards the match should not continue.
