“To be honest‚ it’s very expensive to do all these Covid-19 health and safety protocols. We need help from government or the PSL because some of us may not be able to do the second round‚” said the first official. “We need help from the league or even government because the department of sport has the relief fund. No-one has said anything to us and you must remember we still have to pay salaries of players and staff‚” said a second official.
