Farai Dziva|The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has blocked Ngezi Platinum Stars’ pre-season tour of South Africa arguing that the club hastily made the request.

In a letter on Friday, PSL chief executive officer Kenny Ndebele said the request came at short notice such that it could not be approved.

“We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated 20 February 2019 and advise that we are not in a position to clear the proposed trip to South Africa on short notice,” read the latter.

The PSL also pointed out some missing documents on the request like a letter of invitation from the South African Football Association.

“…Further, the delegation list is incomplete. Your club is required to furnish us with the delegates passport numbers and expiry dates. The application should also be accompanied by an invitation letter from the South Africa Football Association.”

Ngezi Platinum Stars are under a new technical team led by coach Errol Akbay.

The South African league will take a break in two weeks to give Bafana Bafana ample time to prepare for an African Cup of Nations match.
