Efstathiou confirmed that the club would additionally oppose the PSL’s application for leave to appeal the ruling made by Judge Denise Fisher in the Tendai Ndoro arbitration matter.
Briefly.co.za gathered that the PSL announced last week that it would appeal the ruling as a matter of urgency. PSL chairman Irvin Khoza also said the PSL’s Board of Governors and executive committee had decided that the new season would start as scheduled and nothing would interfere with that process.
