Chiefs' management have pulled no stops in getting to the bottom of the racial tension between 'coloured' and black players that is said to exist within the team, according to the information that has been revealed to the Siya crew.
It has been widely reported that coloured players may have received preferential treatment from management and allegedly get off scot-free, even if their transgressions are similar to that of a black player.

Interim head coach Cavin Johnson, however, has dismissed any talk of possible race wars within the club.
It is believed that Chiefs management addressed the matter in a meeting held at the club's Naturena base earlier this week, insiders revealed.
"The management took this matter quite seriously. They called the club's senior players into a meeting to discuss the issue and hear both sides' version of the story. There were apologies all round from players as well as management. As far as I'm concerned, the matter has been laid to rest and the club are now focused on Polokwane City," the source said.
Chiefs revealed that they will be without Itumeleng Khune for the upcoming clash, as he continues to serve his suspension for showing up to training allegedly under the influence of alcohol.
"Amakhosi coach, Cavin Johnson will still be without some key figures as was the case in the last match. Among the players missing will be Thatayone Ditlhokwe, Itumeleng Khune and a few others who are still being assessed by the medical team," read the statement on Kaizer Chiefs' official site.
The Siya crew contacted Chiefs for comment but no response was received while this story was prepared.
