Sukazi – Madlala Has Done Well But the League Must Appoint A New CEO

, ,

TS Galaxy president Tim Sukazi has reiterated that Mato Madlala’s continuation as the acting CEO of the PSL continues to undermine the league, even if she is not at fault for the decisions taken. He said the league should appoint an independent CEO, because Madlala’s continuation is harming the league because she is also club owner – in this case to Golden Arrows. Madlala was appointed as the acting CEO in November 2015 following the departure of Brand de Villiers. It is almost eight years now that she has been acting in the role, with many club officials unhappy about

Referee Abongile Tom will be the only South African match official that will be in Algeria for the 2023 CHAN tournament. The Cape Townian has been growing in the industry as we’ve seen him officiating on the African continent, specifically in CAF club competitions.

Orlando Pirates have seemingly added a striker coach to their technical team after Scott Chickelday confirmed his move to the Buccaneers. Pirates have been struggling in front of goal and are one of three teams with less than 10 goals in the DStv Premiership this season so far. As a consequence, Jose Riveiro has seemingly turned to Chickelday, who previously worked at academy level with Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers before opting to focus on strikers. Chickelday has had some high-profile clients so far, with Liverpool’s Harvey Elliot and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins among the players who have previously

, ,

Ernst Middendorp has insisted people need to be realistic about Swallows survival hopes, saying you cannot win Formula 1 with a Fiat 500. Middendorp was announced as new Swallows coach just before Christmas but lost his first two games in charge. However, those two matches were against third-placed Richards Bay and leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
