Going for 25 years at the helm! PSL confirm Orlando Pirates boss Irvin Khoza will be re-elected as the league's chairman unopposed

The Premier Soccer League has released nominees for the November executive committee elections.

Topping the list of nominees is Orlando Pirates boss Irvin Khoza who will be re-elected as the league's chairman unopposed.

"The list of nominees for the upcoming election of the Executive Committee of the National Soccer League (NSL), scheduled for November 2024, has been confirmed. The nomination process was overseen by the reputable audit firm PwC," the PSL said in a statement.

The nominees are as follows:

Chairperson

Dr Irvin Khoza (sole nominee)

Executive Committee

1. Dr Kaizer Motaung (Kaizer Chiefs FC)

2. Ms Mato Madlala (Lamontville Golden Arrows FC)

3. Dr Rejoice Simelane (Mamelodi Sundowns FC)

4. Dr Abram Sello (Marumo Gallants FC)

5. Mr Stanley Matthews (Supersport United FC)

6. Mr Johhny Mogaladi (Polokwane City FC)

7. Mr Sandile Zungu (AmaZulu FC)

8. Mr Robert Benadie (Stellenbosch FC)

9. Mr John Comitis (Cape Town City FC)

10. Mr Tim Sukazi (TS Galaxy FC)

11. Mr Sifiso Biyela (Richards Bay FC)

By the time Khoza ends the upcoming tenure as PSL boss, he would have clocked 28 years as the league's chairman.

It remains to be seen how PSL fans and other stakeholders will react to Khoza clinging on to power.

However, he might get credit for leading a league which has seen South African teams compete in African inter-club competitions, led by Mamelodi Sundowns.

The PSL has also been producing the bulk of Bafana Bafana players in what is a show of strength.

The PSL is now laying the ground for the November elections on a date yet to be confirmed.
