The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has confirmed that the promotion and relegation playoffs will commence on Wednesday, 11 June.
The playoffs were set to kick off on Tuesday, 27 May,ย but didn’t take place after JDR Stars and Cape Town Spurs lodged a complaint against league winners Durban City.
Both their cases were dismissed by PSL DC and SAFA arbitration respectively.
According to the league’s statement, the playoffs will begin next Wednesday and will be contested by Casric Stars, who finished third in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, and Orbit College, who secured second place.
Cape Town City, having finished 15th in the Betway Premiership table, will be the third team vying to retain their Betway Premiership status.

Meanwhile Kaizer Chiefs will not be extending striker Ranga Chivaviro’s contract when it expires at the end of the month.ย
Chivaviro arrived at Chiefs as one of the standout signings of the 2023-24 season, having netted 17 goals for Marumo Gallants and played a key role in their run to the Caf Confederation Cup semi-finals.
However, his time at Amakhosi fell short of expectations, leading the club to forgo the option of extending his contract by a further year.ย
“Kaizer Chiefs will not be extending striker Ranga Chivaviro’s contract when it expires at the end of the month,” the club shared in a statement.ย
“We thank Ranga for his positive contribution to the team and wish him all the best in his future exploits,” it concluded.ย
