*YCL REJECTS R55MILLION PAY FOR PSL BIGWIGS!* *THURSDAY 16 OCTOBER 2008*
The Young Communist League [uFasimba] rejects the reported R55 million pay for PSL [PSL] bigwigs, namely Dr Irvin Khoza, Kaizer Motaung, Trevor Phillips et al. This demonstrates how self accumulation and self-centered interests can drive an asset of the working class and the poor players out of their hands. It is the players, the majority of whom are from working class and poor, who have built the PSL through their sweat and hard labour to be what it is today. Regrettably, PSL bigwigs want to accumulate and fill their filthy rich pockets at the expense of the under-paid and exploited players. We call on the PSL bigwigs, particularly Dr Khoza to decisively provide leadership on this huge payout in the interests of rechanneling this money in improving the conditions of the players and the majority of who are from the poor. This big payout is a reflection of the accumulation path that was being fostered by the 1996 class project in all sectors of our society which does not put people's needs and interests first. It is the mentality of 'dog eat dog' and crass materialism that the majority of our people must consistently fight against including soccer players. PSL positions must not be used for accumulation purposes, but must be a service to the country and the people of South Africa in developing the people's game. As the YCL we will consider engaging our allies, South African Football Players Union [SAFPU] with an intention of mobilizing players to boycott PSL matches if this outrageous and nonsensical payout is approved by the PSL Board.
