Former Quelaton and How Mine midfielder Gracious Nleya’s second-half strike was enough for Chiefs as they held on until the last whistle to bag maximum points.

Zifa administrator Augustine Ndlovu said they were yet to make a final decision about the case as Kabwe Warriors had not yet approached the football mother body about their failure to fulfill the fixture.
“The match was not played as the visiting team did not travel to fulfill the fixture. At the moment we do not know the reason because they have not yet communicated with us,” he said.
Ndlovu said the match between Zimbabwe Saints and Mpumalanga was postponed as the former PSL club was yet to pay the full affiliation fees for participating in the league.
The match between New West and Ntabazinduna Prison was postponed as Ntabazinduna Correctional Prison Services were having passout parade.
