Sikhumbuzo Gasa has been at the center of controversy in the PSL, and frankly, it’s time to ask if he’s truly cut out for the job.
His officiating during the match between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns was a disaster. Chiefs fans aren’t just upset—they’re furious, and for good reason.
Gasa’s questionable decisions, including allowing a highly disputed second goal by Sundowns, left fans and players alike crying foul.
Are we seriously going to let this slide, or should officiating standards in the PSL finally be called into question?
Let’s look at the facts: after Gasa’s decisions in the Chiefs-Sundowns match, he faced an onslaught of criticism.
Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi openly called out Gasa’s officiating, particularly over an offside goal that ultimately cost Chiefs the game.
The situation escalated to the point where Gasa and his officiating team had to be escorted from the field for their own safety.
This wasn’t an isolated incident either—there have been murmurs about Gasa’s questionable calls in previous matches.
And yet, despite all this, he was still awarded PSL Referee of the Season, raising serious concerns about accountability and standards in South African football.
Are we just going to keep tolerating poor officiating in the PSL? Should referees like Gasa be held to a higher standard, or are we setting the bar too low?
Let’s hear it—drop your thoughts in the comments, and tell me if you think the PSL needs a referee overhaul!
