The South African Football Association is to engage with transport stakeholders to find a way of improving the manner in which amateur soccer teams get to their matches.


The soccer teams often cannot afford social team buses and rely on unsafe modes of transport.

This comes after five players of a Limpopo amateur soccer team, Burgersdorp Shining Stars, died in a tragic accident outside Burgersdorp town on their way to play a league match at Mafaranani village in the Greater Tzaneen area.

In a media statement SAFA president Kirsten Nematandani said as a caring organisation SAFA should start asking serious questions about the mode of transport that is used by clubs at amateur level.
