The Premier Soccer League (PSL) expressed its honor and gratitude for the distinguished presence of former South African President Thabo Mbeki at the #BetwayPrem Soweto Derby held at FNB Stadium.
President Mbeki’s appearance was more than just a nod to the beautiful game, it was a powerful reminder of his pivotal role in South African football history. Thirty-six years ago, in 1989, he played a crucial role in spearheading South Africa’s readmission into the global football family.
Under his guidance and support, the South African Football Association (SAFA) began its journey back as an official FIFA affiliate.
