Kaizer Chiefs is at risk of playing one of their home games in an empty stadium should their supporters misbehave again in the next six months.
The club's supporters have thrown missiles aimed at coach Molefi Ntseki twice in the space of two months. The first incident took place at Mbombela Stadium following Chiefs' 1-0 loss to TS Galaxy on 20 August. Exactly a month later, on 20 September – Ntseki needed a police escort to leave Peter Mokaba Stadium after losing to SuperSport United 1-0.
The DC fined the club R200 000 on Monday, with R50 000 suspended on condition that they aren't found guilty of a similar offence in six months. The suspended R30 000 from the first fine then became payable, meaning that the club will fork out R180 000 due to their supporters' behaviour.
"Sadly, and unfortunately, the import of it is that it will affect other innocent spectators or fans of the club they are scheduled to play next. Unfortunately, for practical considerations, it would simply mean that that particular fixture will be played without fans from both sides."
