Union reopens PSL minimum wage talks

Now that there is a new bargaining agreement in place between the PSL and the SA Football Players Union , discussions over the minimum wage will soon resume.

In a survey conducted by the union a few years ago, the players had suggested a base figure of R35 000 for those playing in the elite league and R18 500 for in the first division, according to Safpu president Thulaganyo Gaoshubelwe. This came after media reports revealed that Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma was earning just R5 000 a month, despite being promoted to a professional contract prior to his debut in April 2017.

“It must not be a confrontational approach. Nothing beats discussions. The country’s Labour Relations Act allows these discussions to take place and we have been in discussions with the league for some time,” said Gaoshubelwe, a former professional PSL player who turned out for Bush Bucks in his heyday.

Gaoshubelwe said other issues that would be discussed with the PSL would include its image and commercial rights, retirement, and insurance and tax-related matters.
