AmaZulu have issued a statement on its official club website to apologise to the PSL.
The KZN side along with its chairman, Patrick Sokhela, were charged by the league, with attempting to attack and with insulting match official, Kulasande Qongqo, during a fixture against Maritzburg United at the Harry Gwala Stadium on March 14.
"Dr Sokhela and AmaZulu Football Club were charged with contravening the Rules of the League following an incident that occurred at a match against Maritzburg United FC on 14 March 2014 at Harry Gwala Stadium.
"Dr Sokhela and AmaZulu FC were found guilty, on their own pleas, of acting in a manner which brought the game, sponsors, and any club, the National Soccer League, the South African Football Association, the Confederation of African Football and Fédération Internationale de Football Association into disrepute.
'The Disciplinary Committee of the League suspended Dr Sokhela from attending three matches played by AmaZulu Football Club and imposed a suspended monetary fine.
"The monetary fine was suspended on condition that Dr Sokhela does not commit a similar offence within 12 months. The DC also imposed a suspended monetary fine on AmaZulu Football Club.
"The monetary fine was suspended on condition that AmaZulu FC does not commit a similar offence within 12 months.
"AmaZulu FC was ordered to submit a written apology to match official, Kulasande Qongqo. Both Dr Sokhela and AmaZulu Football Cub were ordered to pay the costs of the hearing," amazulufc.net revealed.
"Dr Sokhela and AmaZulu Football Club would like to apologize to the PSL and all the stakeholders for having acted in a manner that contravened the Rules of the League and brought the game of football into disrepute.
"The incident is regrettable. The match was a KwaZulu-Natal derby and the tempers were high throughout the match. Given the ever increasing competitive nature of the League and AmaZulu Football Club's aim to finish the season in a very respectable position,
"Dr Sokhela felt disgruntled by some of the decisions made by the match official and confronted him in relation to those decisions. At that moment Dr Sokhela believed he had legitimate concerns and was addressing them in an appropriate manner.
"However, in hindsight, Dr Sokhela and AmaZulu accept that it was wrong of Dr Sokhela to confront the match official hence the guilty plea before the Disciplinary Committee of the League," AmaZulu's statement on the club's official website read.
