Kaizer Chiefs are travelling to the Democratic Republic of Congo to battle AS Simba in the CAF Confederation Cup, but there is bad news for South African TV viewers.

Despite DStv and SABC's plans to broadcast the action on Saturday at 15:00, Amakhosi's latest update says the clash will not be televised.

Reports from the continent suggest that host club AS Simba have declined to grant SuperSport TV and SABC the broadcast rights, leaving South African fans without live coverage of the crucial away leg.
