Black Leopards FC chairman David Thidiela has threatened to escalate his grievances with the Premier Soccer League to FIFA. He has submitted a formal complaint to Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie, alleging that PSL leadership, including acting CEO Mato Madlala and chairman Irvin Khoza, holds conflicting interests that compromise league fairness. Thidiela contends the league should be administered by neutral officials unaffiliated with any club.
Should the minister and the Confederation of African Football fail to provide a satisfactory resolution, Thidiela intends to petition the global football body. His actions highlight ongoing concerns about governance and equity within South African football, particularly from smaller clubs. This move could potentially trigger an external investigation into the PSL's administrative practices.
