The Premier Soccer League (PSL) brand is worth R200-million. This is according to research conducted by BMI Sport Info, an independent research company. PSL consultant Peter Mancer said on Thursday at a press conference in Johannesburg that the brand has grown from strength to strength over the years.
The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has expressed disappointment with Finance Minister Trevor Manuel for involving himself in its affairs and has written to Sports Minister Makhenkesi Stofile, asking him to intervene, the South African Broadcasting Corporation reported on Monday.
It has been described by one newspaper as ”splitting the Premier Soccer League [PSL] down the middle.” But what Finance Minister Trevor Manuel described as ”morally reprehensible” commission payments amounting to hundreds of millions of rands to PSL officials has seemingly united 45-million South Africans in outraged opposition to the professional soccer organisation.
