Safa CEO Motlanthe resigns — sources

Attempts to get official comment from Safa's head of communications Mninawa Ntloko were unsuccessful at the time of publishing and will be added when a response is received.

Safa held an indaba two weeks ago which their special member, the Premier Soccer League (PSL), decided to boycott at the last minute without disclosing reasons.

The PSL said it would will seek a meeting with minister of art, sport and culture Zizi Kodwa and Caf president Patrice Motsepe.

Issues Safa wanted to address with the PSL included club licensing and coaches' qualifications, especially for those coaching clubs at the elite league and national first division level who they insist should at least have Caf A and B licences respectively. 

This is a developing story.
