The 2019-20 PSL season had plenty of flare-ups of controversies over officiating blunders before the shutdown of football due to the national lockdown in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
“For me‚ a person who is an educator‚ and we have many on the referees’ panel‚ whose main job is waking up‚ going to teach the kids at school‚ come back‚ mark papers – refereeing becomes a side issue. “The only impediment which was there was that the cut-off age for retirement of refs is 47‚ and people in government retire at 60‚” Ncobo said.
“And I was proved right when after we fought for the monthly stipend we had people resign from jobs that didn’t allow them to do midweek games‚ even if they weren’t being paid what top-class referees [abroad] can earn.” “If these guys were professional every day they would be on a field of play. If I were to run it every day I would find a club practising in the township‚ MDC [reserve league] teams‚ university or school teams‚ whoever has a practise match‚ and have refs on the field every day.”

EDITORIAL: We were all pulling together until Ace Magashule decided otherwiseStatement from the ‘Revolutionary Alliance’ is wrong on the economy and in resurrecting the idea of prescribed assets Can't believe they mentioned Sweden🤯. The only reason I come up with on the refusal of getting funded by the IMF or WB, is hoping to maintain control. From past lootings to future ones. Also getting funded by related org(BricsBank) . Surely you would not have survived without having something that paints Magashule_Ace bad. The ANC is a political party with policies on the economy and the SG has a responsibility to pronounce the policy of the organization on related matters. Anyone who sees a bright future for SA after Ramaphosa is either deluded or part of this destructive ANC faction. The leadership pipeline in the ANC has dried up, the next cohort are going run SA to the ground. Imagine when you have these ill informed lot running things 🤦🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️
