Pressing Issues: Johann Rupert joins SA’s football elite

The promotion of Stellenbosch FC – that is if the PSL, which seems to be appealing against everything these days, does not appeal the promotion – to the Absa Premiership means that another mogul has become a new member of South African football elite. This time, it’s Johann Rupert.

However, for the uninitiated, the Preza – township parlance for president – was the be-all and end-all. He was usually a prominent businessman in his area who would form a club and run it with an iron fist. The birth of the NPSL brought to prominence colourful characters such as Ewert “The Lip” Nene , Washington “DC” Mposula , Jack “Big Daddy” Sello and Bethuel Masondo , to mention just a few.

Prior to this, the entry of companies such as SuperSport and different universities into club ownership were early signs that our football was taking a new direction.
