Sekhukhune in DStv Premiership

THE PSL issued a statement yesterday confirming that Sekhukhune United are the winners of the 2020/21 GladAfrica Championship and have secured automatic promotion to the DStv Premiership next season.

The decision comes amidst controversy which resulted in court proceedings to determine which of Sekhukhune or KwaZulu-Natal’s Royal AM will be awarded automatic promotion.

"Judge Roland Sutherland granted the declaratory order the league sought. Judge Sutherland also confirmed the two SAFA Arbitration tribunal awards handed down by Advocated Epstein and Cassim SC which impacted the log standings. The awards were challenged by Polokwane United and TS Sporting. Neither challenge was upheld," the statement said.

This means Royal AM will have to contest the promotion/relegation playoffs starting on June 15.
