I think the status of football is not where we expect it to be. There are challenges within the sport itself. This is my second year here, and we have made progress but there is still work to be done. Our regions still have problems and others there are complaints about some them not working. It’s not all gloom and doom.SAFA is hosting an Indaba this weekend, which the PSL have said they will not be attending.
In response, Motlanthe said there is a good relationship with the PSL from an operational point of view.
