Kaizer Chiefs confirm Betway Premiership fixture postponement

Kaizer Chiefs’ Betway Premiership clash against AmaZulu has been postponed, with the fixture originally scheduled for Wednesday, 4 November, at FNB Stadium.

The match was due to kick off at 19:30, but the postponement is due to a scheduling conflict with South Africa’s local government elections which are due to take place on the same day.

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) is expected to confirm the revised date for the fixture, along with details of other affected matches.
