Chiefs and Celtic clash called off

Kaizer Chiefs' surge for the top spot has been delayed after Sunday afternoon's Absa Premiership clash with Bloemfontein Celtic at Seisa Ramabodu Stadium was called off.

A new date has yet to be set by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) - but it could be as soon as Wednesday.

Motaung founded Chiefs in 1970, upon his return from the United States where he plied his trade. Primedia then bought into the legend’s vision and acquired a 40% interest in the club for R40-million back in 1997.

Chiefs has since solidified its status as one of the leading football brand in Africa as well as internationally. However no details were given of exactly how much Mutaung coughed up to take back full ownership of the Soweto giants.

Primedia‘s Group CEO Kuben Pillay said despite their sound relationship, Primedia have decided to refocus their energies to what they do best.
