Former AmaZulu and Orlando Pirates left-back Marc van Heerden has weighed in on the conversation about why the Premier Soccer League (PSL) lacks white football players.

You had Jeremy Brockie,” the former Bafana Bafana defender told Robert…

In that period, it became unsafe to just say “first of all” because someone, somewhere, off topic, might just respond with “introduction” or “go down low.” In schools, a lot of teachers became offended because while…
