The Premier Soccer League (PSL) on Tuesday announced that a moment of silence would be observed in all matches for the late Madikizela-Mandela.
“This will apply to all Absa Premiership, National First Division and MultiChoice Diski Shield fixtures from Tuesday until she is laid to rest.
“The League is saddened by the passing of Mama Winnie – a true pillar of the struggle and a person who sacrificed so much in the fight against apartheid and in the emancipation of the mind,” read a PSL statement.
