Sports Minister Nathi Mthethwa has stressed that all football restart plans by the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and Safa should be stringently followed, otherwise the government will not hesitate to temporarily withdraw the rights for the resumption of football.
After almost five months of inactivity, the domestic season continues with Saturday’s Nedbank Cup semi-final matches featuring Bloemfontein Celtic and Baroka FC, before Mamelodi Sundowns and Bidvest Wits clash.
Making the return of football interesting is that the PSL campaign will restart on August 11 with a big fixture between Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, while leaders Kaizer Chiefs take on Bidvest Wits the following day.
