“All that is going to be settled on the field of play‚ which is the principle we adopted from day one. We are going to do everything in our power to finalise the season.” “We are happy the issue that was on the table with referees has been resolved and there is nothing stopping us from training properly. Fortunately‚ Safa have gone out of their way to make sure referees are ready and as we speak referees are being tested and they have flown them to Johannesburg. We are at the point where the referees are ready to go into the PSL bubble,” he said.
