SABC, SuperSport reach agreement over PSL coverage
An agreement has been reached for Premier Soccer League (PSL) matches to return to the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC).
At the beginning of the month, the public broadcaster announced that there would be no PSL matches on TV and radio due to a dispute over fees.
The agreement between MultiChoice Group, SuperSport and the SABC follows negations overseen by the Sports Minister Nathi Mthethwa on Thursday evening.

"We remain committed to long-term investment in sports in South Africa and the rest of Africa.”
