It is with deep sadness and regret that we learn of the passing of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) Life President, Dr. Leepile Taunyane.

Upon receiving the news, the shocked Kaizer Chiefs Executive Chairman Mr Kaizer Motaung lamented; "This is sad news. I am shocked to learn of the passing on of Dr. Taunyane. He was a stalwart and a gentleman of the game, who has served football with distinction. He earned his stripes as an astute football administrator, as he was dedicated and committed to football. Words will not express how we feel at this stage.

I would like to personally and on behalf of the Kaizer Chiefs family express our heartfelt deepest condolences to the bereaved family and friends."

May his soul rest in peace.

Kaizer Chiefs will await further details from the PSL.
