There have been several calls from local football supporters for the use of the technology system to counteract questionable officiating.
Reports in local media have suggested that SAFA and the PSL could look to adopt the system, which assists the referee by reviewing decisions using video footage, with speculation rife that the technology will be used during the MTN8 final.
With the eagerly awaited fixture between the two in-form sides a little over two weeks away, the Siya crew has gathered information from sources privy to refereeing issues in the PSL and SAFA that the news on the possible VAR use in the MTN8 final isn't true.
According to sources, the implementation of the system in the local game is still far away and that there is no decision made yet on when it could be expected.
