“The club is clear on issues of Covid-19 and assisting with curbing the spread of infections” BraMahlatse
Gauteng police spokesperson and captain Mavela Masondo told SowetanLIVE that they would not be able to investigate the matter as a case has not been opened.
Chiefs spokesperson Vina Maphosa said they were looking into the matter when SowetanLIVE approached the Naturena-based club for comment. "If we find anything and that warrants informing the public‚ we are duty-bound to do so. For now our focus is on returning to football action and such matters will be taken care of internally via relevant platforms.”“That is an issue of law enforcement because we don’t deal with policing people. The law must take its course on whoever has broken the law and it doesn’t matter whether its Bobby or deputy minister Mafu‚” the deputy sports minister said.
Chiefs and several other clubs have reported cases of Covid-19 in their ranks in recent weeks and a video of a senior official partying it up with a group of people makes a mockery of sports minister Nathi Mthethwa's promise to crack down on those who fail to observe safety protocols. "They will play based on the plans which were submitted to the department and we reserve the right to halt any activity if we feel and think that those protocols and plans are not adhered to."
