Safa referees are affected by coronavirus just like every PSL team - Masikhwa

South African Football Association’s (Safa) head of referees Tenda Masikhwa has described how domestic match officials are being affected by the coronavirus pandemic, with officials being hit hard in the pocket.

The suspension of PSL matches came after an announcement by the league's chairman Dr. Irvin Khoza who addressed the media after a Board of Governors’ meeting on Thursday.

Masikhwa understands and agrees with the decision taken by Safa.

“The referees are affected just like everyone else, we cannot expose them to such danger and we have to practice safety at all times – that is the priority,” Masikhwa told Goal.
