Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates Caf matches in doubt as Angola closes its borders to South Africa

Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates’ Caf inter-club matches are in doubt after the Angolan government closed its borders to travellers from South Africa.

Both teams have Angolan opponents and the move to shut borders comes as South Africa is recording cases of a new super-infectious coronavirus strain.

Chiefs are scheduled to visit Primeiro Agosto for a Caf Champions League first round, second leg match on January 5.
