Cape Town - Minister Nathi Mthethwa - in consultation with the Minister of Communications, Telecommunications and Postal Services Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams - met with Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairperson Dr Irvin Khoza and Multichoice Executive chairperson Imtiaz Patel and Chief Executive Officer Calvo Mawela on Tuesday.

The objective of the meeting was to pave the way for a sustainable and long-term solution to the dispute that has resulted in PSL matches not being broadcast on the public broadcaster (SABC).

The meeting follows an intervention made by Ministers Mthethwa and Ndabeni-Abrahams two weeks ago, when both ministers met with the public broadcaster.

Having heard from both the PSL and Multichoice, Mthethwa confirmed that in 48 hours all affected parties will once again meet and what will culminate from that discussion will be an announcement that will constitute a breakthrough in the current impasse.

In a media statement released on Wednesday, Mthethwa said:
