"If they are playing over the weekend, then they can't play Nedbank Cup. We will send out information because Sundowns is still talking to them about other options, so we are waiting to hear from Sundowns. I was on the phone with Yogesh (Singh) just now. We will wait to see what CAF says," PSL Acting CEO Mato Madlala told the Siya crew.
