South Africa has been dealt with another huge blow as Premier Soccer League (PSL) prosecutor Nande Becker has officially resigned after eight years in the role.
Last week there were murmurs around his potential exit from the PSL while the silence surrounding the Kaizer Chiefs and Cape Town City game was rather telling.
Becker has since confirmed to South African news portal iDiski Times that he has indeed vacated his position in a brief statement on Sunday.
“I resigned with effect [on] 30 November 2021,” he told iDiski Times when probed on the reasoning he stated he’d prefer to keep that quiet.
Meanwhile, Fifa on Friday dismissed SASA protest against the Ghana Football Association following their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier 1-0 defeat to the Black Stars lat month at the Cape Coast Stadium.
The ruling meant that Ghana have legitimately qualified for for the Play-offs in next year March.
According to Fifa, the protest didn’t meet FIFA requirements under Art. 46 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and Art. 14 of the Regulations of the Preliminary Competition of the FIFA World Cup 2022.
“The protest lodged by South Africa has been declared inadmissible by the Disciplinary Committee as it did not meet the requirements foreseen under art. 46 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and art. 14 of the Regulations of the Preliminary Competition of the FIFA World Cup 2022,” FIFA said in a statement.
The statement added that: “The decision is subject to appeal.”
