The Premier Soccer League faces a crisis as Royal AM's management issues escalate, raising questions about the league's integrity and future.
The good times seem to have dried up for Shauwn Mkhize ’s club, Royal AM, who had all their matches suspended by the PSL on Thursday. | Ayanda Ndamane Independent MediaWhen Shauwn ‘Ma Mkhize ’ Mkhize purchased the status of Bloemfontein Celtic , there was some resistance from the fans of Siwelele about the club being moved from Mangaung .
And then came the Samir Nurkovic saga in 2024, with the club having failed to pay the Serbian and ending up getting a transfer ban from Fifa. The league had long put up the fixtures, only to then have weekends where one team had to be idle — a situation the league, purportedly the best on the continent, could have done without.
That the PSL is regarded as the best-administered league on the continent is because Khoza, Kaizer Motaung, and the many men and women who have been part of the executive since the formation of the NSL in 1985 , have painstakingly worked to ensure it is. The PSL have to take part of the blame for this mess, allowing this phenomenon of club statuses being bought as easily as it is, to come to an end.
