Kaizer Chiefs pull out of DStv Premiership after Covid-19 outbreak

South African giants Kaizer Chiefs have said they will not be able to fulfil their latest DStv Premiership match against Lamontville Golden Arrows on Wednesday 8 December 2021.

The club says that this is due to a Covid-19 outbreak at the club.

It said, ” Following further consultations with the medical department and management regarding the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak that occurred at the Kaizer Chiefs Village last week, Kaizer Chiefs is unable to travel for the scheduled league match against Lamontville Golden Arrows, scheduled for Wednesday, 8 December at Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban.”

The club also requested to have the rest of their matches for the rest of December to be postponed.

Since the request was made, five more cases have been recorded, bringing the total number of those with Covid-19 to 36.

“This shows us why it was important for the team to temporarily avoid playing or interacting with others as this could potentially cause the virus to spread beyond the Club – which is an undesirable situation for all involved,” says Kaizer Chiefs Physician, Dr. Hashendra Ramjee. “It is our responsibility to try to contain the outbreak as much as we can and save lives as players and staff have to go back to their families on a daily basis.”

Recently retired Zimbabwe international Khama Billiat is on the books of Kaizer Chiefs. It is not clear if he is one of those infected.
