“Now we [as clubs] invest money in football, but there is no return from that investment and other people are making money out of you. When you stage a game, you need plus or minus R200,000 to R300,000 to comply regardless of the categorisation. We don’t own the stadiums, there was no legacy after the [2010] World Cup.”
Khoza bemoaned it was too expensive to host games for clubs.
“The stadiums charge whatever amount of money, around R150,000 (to host a match). If it is a derby, almost R1m. Where do you get that money from? Worse, you don’t own hospitality rights. You have your security and everything and you have no option. Now the sad part of it is that you sell your ticket for R80 or R100 in the final [but] hospitality they sell it for R5,000,” he said.
“If there is a liability, it comes to you. Instead of making money from that fixture it costs you and you cannot make money. If somebody dies or is stabbed, you must pay. Given a chance, it is one of the things I need to reverse because everybody is benefiting except the club owners. It can’t be right.”
The PSL will hold its AGM in Sandton next week, where Khoza will be re-elected unopposed and a new executive also chosen.
