Tim Sukazi Questions How the Chairman of The PSL Can Also Be A Chairman of a Team! The TS Galaxy boss let his feeling known about this matter.
Tim Sukazi does not understand how the chairman of the league can also be the chairman of a team in the very same league. He is referring to Dr Irvin Khoza who is the chairman of the PSL and Orlando Pirates.
Current stand-in PSL chairwoman Mato Madlala also has a team in the division, in the form of Golden Arrows.
Sukazi was on Sports Night Live with Andile Ncube last night, discussing these issues.
“This league has got a problem of impartiality.” Sukazi said, referring to referees in the division.
“Someone at the PSL receives the names, earlier than every other club. So, I would imagine, it could be the office of the CEO because logistics for the referees have to be arranged.
“So, you’ve got a serious impartiality issue here. When you have, for example, I’m saying it’s a true fact, a CEO of the league owning a club this is clear conflict.
“What brought the ugly face out in this season, the issue of Golden Arrows for example having been charged by the league for having improperly registering a player.
“So now we’ve got a club owned by the CEO of the league, charged by the league via its prosecutor, whose boss is – by the rules of the league – the prosecutor of the league reports to the CEO, which is Manto, he reports to Mato Madlala, her club is charged. This is clear conflict.”
“So, this leads me to wonder, on really even the sponsors how they see it? I’ll be very interested in fact I’m very prepared to take a platform with MultiChoice or DSTV, their chairman to discuss conflict in South African football and, I’ll be very interested to hear them justifying this situation to say, in accordance with our own corporate governance protocols, this is not conflict.
“It is clear conflict. It’s clear conflict of interest.
“What came out? The outcome of improperly registering a player, the rules are there, the kind of fines or punishment that has to be taken by the club are very clear and what comes out? A slap in the wrist.
“It’s just the cost, whatever the case may be, no deduction of points. Does it make sense? To me, it doesn’t make sense.” He spoke.
