The SA Premiership match between Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs on August 27 has been moved to Newlands Rugby Stadium, after the Cape Town Stadium failed a pitch inspection.

"We are immensely disappointed with this situation as we have worked tirelessly to ensure the pitch is up to standard,” said De Reuck.
“Unfortunately, the improved weather conditions has come in too late to have the desired impact that was needed.

“We sincerely apologise to everybody that this has affected. Rest assured that we will continue in our efforts to have the pitch brought up to Fifa standards.”
