Secrecy and chaos the order of the day in the league's affairs
Something is just not right at the PSL headquarters in Parktown, Joburg. As to what it is, one just can't put one's finger on it. While the league is swimming in wealth and affluence, due to sponsorship and the wholesome TV deal with Super-Sport, things are wonky.

This is supported by the fact that the chairman of the league, Irvin Khoza, was wearing a face mask when he was alone in front of the cameras.
