R70k a match to run VAR. R70 million to R90 million once off to install it everywhere.
Sounds like a fortune until you look at what South African football actually makes on a single Saturday.
SuperSport's broadcast deal with the league has been worth over R2 billion across a five year cycle. That works out to roughly R400 million a year, just from TV rights.
Spread that across a roughly 240 match season and you land on more than R1.6 million generated per match, before sponsorship, gate takings or merchandise even come into it.
R70k a match to operate VAR is under 5% of that.
Here's the actual problem. That broadcast money sits with the PSL and its clubs. SAFA, the body actually responsible for referees and the VAR rollout, runs on a completely different budget. Government has already handed over R20 million toward setup costs, and full installation still needs at least R60 million more.
So yes, SAFA on its own might genuinely not have that kind of money.
South African football, as a whole, clearly does.
This was never about affordability. It's about who's willing to write the cheque.
"South Africa will still be eliminated in the round of 32" you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Those people went to the world cup with local players from their league and made it to the knockout stages. Do you know what would happen to Nigeria if we went to the world cup with our own local League Players ?
Last year when we played the CHAN Tournament do you know what happened to our own local players ? We got embarrassed in the group stages. That wasn't the AFCON. That was CHAN and we lost to very small countries. Now imagine what would happen if we take those boys to the world cup.
Mind you those are your own brothers
If South africa can achieve this feat without having players from European leagues do you know what will happen to us when they start using foreign players ?
I became skeptical when she said she does not talk about work with her crime intelligence husband.
She said โpillow talk gets people killedโ and literally no one has ever said that. That is not a saying in the English language or any language.
Also come on. The husband who you helped appoint? You donโt talk about work with him? The one who used to work with you in the same offices?
You expect us to believe that when you encourage people to use empty boxes in court for show?
It's really scary and to think that some people are looking for employment with these abysmal literacy and comprehension levels . Some are even parents, how are they teaching their children ? ๐
Surely more reading can help remedy the problem amongst adults .
DJ Speedsta making rappers rap is probably my favourite thing about SA Hip Hop.
Look at this easy effort by Kwesta. Oh my. 19 years in the game man. ๐ญ๐ฅ

REGARDING EKURHULENI, THE DEPOSING OF DEAD BODIES & OPPOSITION PARTIES BEING GIVE MONEY๐ฅ๐ฅ
LEAKED AUDIO Part 1๐ฅ๐ฅ-
The City Manager of Ekurhuleni has been given 2 weeks leave so that the story can die down. Over the weekend around R23 million was travelling through Ekurhuleni councillors and generalโs for protection. He is expecting to close this case also.
The handsome guy and his secretary are the one protecting him. Opposition parties are quiet because he promised to fund their campaigns and lifestyle. We are in trouble here in Ekurhuleni.
Bahlali itโs time to take our municipality back from these corrupt councilors and political party. The body that was disposed is one of our own from Vosloorus. We need to support the family.
I am collecting the names of all councillors who are benefiting and funded from the money stolen from the City. Money meant for potholes, water leakages, robots etc is being shared amongst corrupt individuals.
More LEAKED audioโs on the way.
@SizweDhlomo I was without an income for 11 months. It was during COVID and was completing my PhD. Needed to put food on the table and friends were few.

It is alleged that on Monday, 02 February 2026, Nedbank opened a fraud case at Lephalale police station for investigation.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect allegedly posed as a client and applied for vehicle finance to purchase a Ford Ranger Double Cab.

The application was approved, and the bakkie was released to the suspect.
It was also later discovered that a tracking device fitted to the vehicle was removed shortly after it left the dealership.
No instalments were paid to the bank and upon further investigation, the bank discovered it had been defrauded by the 37-year-old and reported the matter to the police.
A case of fraud was registered, and investigations revealed that the suspect provided a false working address and residential address in Gauteng Province.
