Losing two high-profile personnel in Nande Becker and Michael Murphy from its legal department could make it difficult for the Premier Soccer League (PSL) to challenge Kaizer Chiefs’ decision not to show up for matches due to Covid-19.

PSL legal head Murphy quit yesterday, his sudden resignation coming days after it was confirmed prosecutor Becker left last month. Another senior official who served in the finance department, Yusuf Seth, is also said to have resigned yesterday.

As head of legal, Murphy would have been instrumental in establishing the league’s Covid protocol, which also has a clause barring teams from using a rising number of cases as reason to request postponements. Sowetan understands the league has sought more legal counsel on the matter and an executive meeting that was meant to conclude the matter yesterday was moved to today, pending the outcome of legal consultations.

“Following further consultations with the medical department and management regarding the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak that occurred at the Chiefs Village last week, Chiefs is unable to travel for the scheduled league match against Golden Arrows,” Chiefs said.
