Police were forced to use tear gas and stun grenades as Kaizer Chiefs fans ripped apart the Moses Mabhida Stadium in the aftermath of their Nedbank Cup semi-final loss to Free State Stars.
Chiefs were denied yet another chance to secure silverware under Komphela when they lost 2-0 to El La Koto in Durban on Saturday.
This came in the wake of coach Komphela’s post-match resignation, ending a three-season trophyless spell under the former Maritzburg United mentor.
Chiefs are likely to receive another hefty fine after they were fined R250 000 after their supporters pelted the coach and players with missiles in the 3-0 loss to Chippa United at the FNB Stadium,.
Don’t let Steve Kompela’s resignation distract you from the fact that Kaizer Chiefs fans (mostly men) beat up a female security guard until she was unconscious. #NedbankCup pic.twitter.com/payco4fQPM

Absolutely diabolical scenes at Moses Mabhida Stadium tonight. Kaizer Chiefs will be in big trouble for this. Unacceptable from the supporters.
