Johannesburg - The Premier Soccer League (PSL) Executive Committee (ExCo) has made an undertaking to pay a visit to all clubs with a view to engaging directly with players, PSL chairperson Irvin Khoza has announced.
Khoza made the announcement at a PSL Special General Meeting held at the Sandton Sun in Johannesburg on Saturday. The meeting was attended by all 32 Premiership and National First Division clubs (16 in each league).
"The ExCo will engage directly with our most important stakeholder, which are our players.
"Amongst some of the matters we will discuss with them are the repercussions of the various deals we have signed, the vision of the league and the very vital role that they play in this.
Khoza said there was major concern regarding discipline, personal presentation, and work ethic amongst some of the players.
"A lot of our players get a big shock when they are transferred abroad and find themselves having to attend rigorous training sessions up to three times a day.
"We undertake this initiative with a view to empowering the players."
The South African Players' Union (Safpu) will accompany the PSL on this national drive.
