Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairman Irvin Khoza says their hands are tied regarding the selling and buying of club statuses.
This comes after Bidvest Wits confirmed they have agreed to sell their status to National First Division (NFD) club Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM), pending PSL approval.
AmaZulu purchased the status of Thanda Royal Zulu, who had secured promotion to the PSL from the NFD in 2017, while Cape Town City bought Mpumalanga Black Aces in 2016.
