Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairman Irvin Khoza has warned that there are no guarantees the Premiership and national first division clubs will receive their grants at the end of July.
The 32 teams in the Absa Premiership and GladAfrica Championship usually get their grants and ex-gratia fees at the end of July‚ but this is unlikely if the players do not return to the field soon to complete the season.
"The unfortunate part is that from the 30th of June‚ that was the last time we get the grant. What we find is the new season going forward and the sponsors at this point in time‚ especially the broadcaster‚ for the last three months they have allowed for us to pay and be paid without asking questions in terms of what we are giving in return.
Khoza admitted that the clubs have been under severe strain and pressure due to Covid-19‚ adding that other sides made applications to the Unemployment Insurance Fund for their players and staff.
