The South African Football Association (Safa) has explained why it is against giving the PSL the green light to resume the season this month.
The league proposed July 18 as the return date in their communication with Safa two weeks ago but this was rejected by the country's FA, citing the unavailability of referees as their main reason for not allowing competitive football to return.
However, it appears there is more to what Safa told the public on why football cannot return, according to what acting CEO Tebogo Motlanthe told Sun Sport.

Motlanthe said Safa doesn't want to be blamed for anything that could go wrong if football was to be played before August, suggesting the association isn't convinced that the league has complied with all the new regulations as set out by the government and the Joint Liaison Committee.
