Why would it take the PSL disciplinary committee a whole six months to reach a verdict on a simple matter of violation of league rules? This structure is increasingly becoming a serious Achilles heel and doing disservice to the league, writes SBu_Mseleku
It was about how long this quasi-judicial body had taken to mete out punishment to Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates thugs who had brought the game into disrepute.The column concluded: “If not even lives are taken seriously, what will jolt the current committee members into acting appropriately – or should they just be replaced with people with some grit who will take proper action?”
Contents of Monday night’s verdict were contained in a statement released by the PSL on Wednesday under the heading PSL DC outcome on Mamelodi Sundowns, Wayne Arendse and Pitso Mosimane. “This is after Mamelodi Sundowns fielded Mr Arendse while he was ineligible to play in the Absa Premiership fixture against Bidvest Wits on October 7 2018. Sanction will be handed down once all the parties have made submissions to the disciplinary committee.
Why does the verdict come at such a tentative stage in the race for the league title between Sundowns and Pirates? Several clubs have in the past accused the league of engaging in what seems to be tactics to destabilise them.
