NATIONAL SOCCER LEAGUE Chairman's Address
A great strain was placed on the entire administration of this league by public quarrels among clubs and other officials. I need hardly tell you what harm this has done to the NSL and its image both locally and on the Continent.
One of the aims I set myself on being elected was to try and sort out difficulties that were being experienced in the second and third divisions. To this end committees charged with looking into these matters were set up. However, due to time constraints I was unable to devote as much attention to the 2nd and 3rd Divisions as I would have wished.
I hope we find some way of solving those problems, and by next year, when the distinction between amateur and professional soccer in this country becomes clearer, we should have put that behind us for good.
I was elected by you and I hope I have served you reasonably well. As I have already said, I could have had more support than I did.
Where 1 have erred, I can only say it was because I am human.There are colleagues who never failed to assist or shirked their responsibilities. 1 thank
them for their selflessness and for the contribution they have made to the game.Although this does not fall fully square under the ambit of professional soccer, I would
be failing in my duty if I did not commend those who were responsible in helping to bring about unity in the amateur ranks.
It is through their efforts that today we have been able to establish a national soccer team - all of its members chosen from the ranks of the NSL and NPSL sides.
What a pity that total unity has not yeat been achieved between ourselves (NSL) and the NPSL. However, we must place on record that we at the NSL shall never rest until this objective has been realised.
What about the future?Anyone who has followed the fortunes and misfortunes of this organisation must be
asking himself/herself, whither the NSL.I have already stated above that one of our main gaols is to achieve total unity in pro
fessional soccer. In spite of the problems we are encountering in pursuance of this goal, we are convinced that this will be achieved in the near future.
We all know that the organisation has the potential to be one of the most respected and best run in the country. With support and commitment from all, this is not an impossible goal to achieve.
At the moment we do not enjoy the confidence of the public. The scandal which rocked the game in the past few months will not be removed by wishful thinking or playing the ostrich.
The NSL must acknowledge the wrongs it committed. It must acknowledge that it let down those who placed so much faith in it and her officials.
This is the only way we can leave the scandal and all its attendant problems behind us. This is the only way in which we can face the future with confidence and better prospects.
That this can be done is not in doubt. How it is done is the collective responsibility of all of us. We can only build a strong NSL if we stand together. Let us put the organisation first.
1 request blood, sweat and tears from you dear colleagues. The future of the NSL is in your hands.
May I wish your forthcoming Executive Committee success.I thank you one and all.

YEAR IN REVIEW
The year under review was marked by unpredendented contradictions of success and failure of the development of soccer.
1991 was ushered in by the unification of professional soccer as a result of a merger between NSL and FPL. This unity also signalled an end to a process of deracialisation of soccer in particular Vv'hile paving the way for the creation of non-racial sports in general.
The dust of jubilation among soccer supporters had not settled when the disaster at Orkney befell spectators during a friendly between Iwisa Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.
As the year ensured, the united NSL started paying the price of unity in the form of increased financial commitments due to increased number of teams. Coupled with an economic recession and the resultant inflation and unemployment the match attendance figures dwindled to a worrying low.
Political violence that had been scourging the urban and rural areas of Natal spread to the Reef and the "taxi war" that went unabated in the Western Cape further depressed the attendance figures and therefore gate-takings were reduced to a bare minimum.
That political violence was escalating alongside fundamental political changes in the country, was one of the contradictions that characterised the year 1991.
The financial scandal that rocked the NSL in the middle of the year added salt to the wound resulting in significant damage to the image of the League.
The year finally ground to a halt amidst the excitement of amateur soccer unification under the leadership of SAFA. The anticipation of international participation of soccer, raising the national and international importance of the NSL as the producer of the National Squad.
Despite all the turbulances soccer has retained its status as a national sport of our country, drawing millions of spectators every year. It still remains the most sought after advertising medium.
Despite all the problems, the National Soccer League under new leadership restored its status to ensure that soccer remained bigger than all of us.

1. BOSMONT
This grounds was found to be in good condition.
2. UMTATA
The ground was found to be of unacceptable condition during the first inspection. A subsequent inspection approved the use of the stadium.
3. CHATSW ORTH
The ground was inspected and found that there was no pitch security fence and the perimeter was too low.
4. STANGER
The ground was found to be nearly square and not rectangular as specified in the LAWS OF THE GAME, no dressing rooms were available, NO ADMISSION KIOKS and the PARKING AREA is inadequate.
5. NORTHDALEGrass needed resurfacing, security fence is too short, and the admission points and dressing rooms need proper attention.
6. CURRIES FOUNTAIN
The pitch needed complete overhand, security fence was none existent, dressing rooms were not furnished and in a bad state. Passage between cashier's kioks and control room was not secure.
Perimeter fence needed to be rebuilt.
Toilets were dilapidated.
7. ATHLONE
At the time security fence was to be upgraded and it has since been attended to.
8. AD CO CK

The pitch needed levelling as there were humps caused by rugby poles which were within the playing area.
9. GELVANDALE
Quality of nets was bad.

No security fence was available.
10. KANYAMAZANE
The pitch is uneven, security doors to be fitted at dressing rooms, razor sharp wire to be fitted at the security fence, security door to be erected at main entrance, increasing of exit gates from 2 to 4.

11. PHUTHADITJHABA
The pitch was bad during that time and so was the quality of nets. Windows at dressing rooms were not fitted with burglar proofs.

Surfaces of the pitch uneven.No security fence is available and construction is underway with facilities for sitting on the Northern, Eastern and Western sections.From observations it was noted that most of the people responsible for marking the playing area were not conversant with the proper measurements.
13. FIRST NATIONAL BANK STADIUMMore water taps to be urgently installed for patrons to drink. A strong perimeter fence or concrete walling needed for security reasons, otherwise the pitch is superb for soccer.
14. O RLANDO STADIUMIt has a good concrete walling as well as the pitch security fence. The ground meets all security requirements for any match.
15. ELLIS PARK STADIUMAlthough it does not have permanent pitch security fence, on big games a barbed wire is installed around the pitch, otherwise the venue is good for soccer.

2. SPONSORSHIP:
A new three year sponsorship was agreed to by the OK Bazaars. With the increased number of teams, the sponsorship was increased substantially to R1 900 000 providing for R600 000, R650 000 and R700 000 in the respective three years.
The function for the presentation of the 1990 Awards was held on 11 June 1991. The delay was caused by the Supreme Court Case involving Dangerous Darkies F.C., Cape Town Spurs F.C. and African Wanderers.
The winning teams at the end of the season were:1. R27 500 AFRICAN WANDERERS2. R14 000 DANGEROUS DARKIES3. R1 2 000 CAPE TOW N SPURS4. R 9 000 VAAL PROEESSIONALS5. R 8 000 RATANANG MAHOLOSIEANE6.

3. THE OK LEAGUE 1991 SEASON:
The fixture of the 1991 season kicked-off on 6 April 1991 for both the O Stream and the K Stream.
Right at the outside Ratanang F.C. were at the top of the log and momentarily conceded the log leadership to Vaal Professionals as the season drew towards the end.
The battle for supremacy between the two was hard and Ratanang F.C. had to win the last encounter of the season against Vaal Professionals F.C. They beat Vaal Professionsis F.C. 1-0 at Phuthaditjhaba.
Vaal Professionals F.C. chances were also spoiled by Ravens F.C. and Zola United Stars F.C. who beat them 3-1 and 1-0 respectively.
In the K-Stream, Battswood, for the greater part of the 1 st round of the season were at the top of the log and only occasionally interchanged with PE Callies F.C. and Crystal Brains F.C.
After the protracted court case that involved Cape Town Spurs F.C., who were at the time playing in the 1st Division, the court decided in favour of African Wanderers F.C. This then meant that Cape Town Spurs had to then play in the 2nd Division.
Cape Town Spurs started playing towards the end of the second round and they gave an excellent account of themselves. When they took over the top spot of the stream, they did not look back but dinged to it until the end of the season, winning with a three point lead from Battswood F.C. They scored a total of 115 goals for the season breaking the record of 111 set by Giant Blackpool F.C. (now Sharp Highlands) in 1988, and only conceding 23 goals.

4 . CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY-OFF:
At the end of the season, the two (2) teams that won in their respective streams, Ratanang and Cape Town Spurs were engaged in a play-off to decide who the 1991 champions are.
The play-off was played on a home and away points system. The first match was played in Cape Town's Hartleyvale Stadium on Sunday 1 December 1991 and Cape Town Spurs beat Ratanang 4-1. The second match played at the FNB Stadium, Johannesburg as the main curtain raiser, to the Bob Save Superbowl Knock out Cup final and was transmitted LIVE on television, a first for the O K League. Cape Town Spurs F.C. won the 1991 OK League Championships while Ratanang F.C. were the runners-up.
Cape Town Spurs and Ratanang were therefore promoted to the 1st Division and the following clubs were relegated to the 3rd Division.O-STREAMBluebells United Kroonstad Rabbits Leicester City Neac All Stars jasair Birds Fordsburg City iRockridge De Beers

With discontinuance of the Team of the Year Awards, the club-store promotions were discontinued in 1991. Efforts will be made to have this award re-introduced as the exercise was worthwhile to the sponsors, as well as to the clubs. The clubs particularly benefit from the administration and marketing skills offered by the store.
Besides administration and marketing skills the clubs were able to organise support in their community. Maybe the award could be re-introduced in a different format.

7. THE NEW REPUBLIC BANK KO CUP:1991 saw the introduction of a knock out competition for the 2nd Division with the New Republic Bank agreeing to sponsor the competition to the tune of R 500 000 over a period of three (3) years.
The competition was played on a KNOCK OUT basis with the c lubs in each stream playing one another.
The Competition opened with the first round being a Preliminary Round where EIGHT (8) clubs in each stream played off to eliminate four (4) clubs. The draw for this round was conducted on Monday 17 June 1991 in Durban where the sponsorship was formally announced to the public and the clubs of the 2nd Division.
The matches of the ensuing rounds were played after a draw was conducted at the weekly NSL Media Conference.
The breakdown of the prize money was as follows:
"O"R 6 000 R 8 000 RIO 000
"K"R 6 000 R 8 000 RIO 000
Losing 8 clubs (last 16) shared Losing Quarter-finalists shared Losing semi-finalists shared Runners Up R12 000FinalistsA/Vinners R20 000
In addition to the Prize money, medals for the winners and runners-up as well as a floating trophy were provided by the sponsor, and presented at the end of the finals on 24 August 1991.
NATIONAL SOCCER LEAGUE
From the Preliminary Round up to and including the Last 16 round, clubs used their own kit with adhesive stickers bearing the sponsors name and logo to affix on each player's jersey for the duration of all the matches.
From the quarter-final stage, the sponsor provided kit for all the clubs involved.
The final was contested by Cape Town Spurs F.C. and Vaal Professionals F.C. at the FNB SDtadium, Soccer City, Johannesburg as the main curtain raiser to the JPS Knock Out Cup Final on 24 August 1991.The entire match was recorded by Topsport and transmitted at a later date. Cape Town Spurs beat Vaal Professionals to be the winners of the inaugural knock-out cup of the 2nd Division and took away to Cape Town a cheque of R20 000 plus a floating trophy.
8. THE BOBSAVE SUPERBO\A/L KNOCKOUT COMPETITION:Once again, the Second Division clubs performed exceptionally well in the competition after the preliminary rounds that culminated with Fourteen (14) clubs qualifying for the first round proper of the competition, a record Eleven (11) Second Division clubs qualified.
The Eleven (11) clubs were:
Cape Town Spurs, Vaal Professionals, Iscor Dynamos, Royal Tigers, Real Rovers, Zola United Stars, Ratanang, Leicester City, Bush Bucks, PE Callies and Ravens.
Three (3) of the clubs that qualified for the last 38 stage of the competition sent shock- waves throughout the soccer world when they beat the fancied 1st Division opponents.
Zola United Stars took account of Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium beating them on penalties.Ravens also turned the bookies around when they beat Bloemfontein Celtics in extra time.Royal Tigers also had their share of glory when they beat Total Aces to qualify for the next round.
In the next round, Zola United Stars lost to jomo Midas Cosmos when their goalkeeper tarnished and excellent performance against Orlando Pirates when he scored and own, goal. Ravens were drawn against Royal Tigers and Ravens won the tie to proceed to the next round of the competition.
In the quarter finals. Ravens played and beat Vaal Reefs Stars but lost the tie after Vaal Reef Stars had their protest against Ravens upheld by the Disciplinary Committee after it was found that Ravens fielded two suspended players. The matter even went on appeal by Ravens but the appeal board concurred with the Disciplinary Committee.
9. GENERAL:The standard of soccer in the OK League showed signs of improvement, despite the increased number of teams. The performance of Cape Town Spurs and Ratanang in the first division proves this point.
There is no doubt that, with the number of teams reduced to Fourteen (14) in the O- Stream and Sixteen in the K-Stream, the standard will get better in 1992.

1991 FIXTURES:The third division fixtures kicked off on Sunday 14th April, 1991 and were completed on the 10th October, 1991 except for Central C Stream (Alexandra & Tembisa). The teams in this stream especially in Tembisa were instructed not to play K P Santos, this team was not allocated grounds and referees, because of their differences with the local association. This matter was referred to SAFA to solve.
GROUNDS:The question of grounds has not improved during the year, some teams are still having problems with local associations, while others have grounds which are of poor quality.
REFEREES:Referees' situation went from bad to worse for the year 1991. We still had games without match officials. Some games only got one match official without linesmen. We are still experiencing delays in receiving Referee's reports. We are still getting Referees overcharging for travelling expenses.

P U B LIC AFFAIRS REPORT
The year 1991 will go down in history as the most difficult, trying and controversial one, for the League. We were in the news almost daily, and made headlines.
As tough as things were, a record was set in-so-far as completion of the Castle League programme was concerned. Fixtures were completed in November. What with African Wanderers starting their Castle League programme when other teams had already played 10 games. A lot of catching-up by way of mid-week games had to be done by the end of the first round all 24 teams, including African Wanderers, had completed 17 games.
You will also note that last year's first division composition was the biggest in terms of participating teams, since the inception of the NSL. There were 24 teams as compared to 18 for the previous year.
All Knock-Out Competitions lived up to expectations - viz Castle League, Bob Save, JPS, Castle Challenge, BP, Iwisa Charity Spectacular. All the finals were played at the "STADIUM FOR THE NATION", the FNB STADIUM.
With such pulsating success in the first division, obviously our teams in the O K League fought tooth and nail for promotion to this elite League. The OK League, reliant on the generous sponsorship of the O K Bazaars, is what we would refer to them as the "FEEDER" of the first division, and rightly so. Today we have teams like Fairways Stars, Sharp Highlands, Umtata Bucks, Vaal Reefs and Albany City who once comapaigned in the second division. All the aforegoing send a chill down their opponents' spines whenever, they are due to meet their opponents having always campaigned in the first division.
1992 promises to be more prosperous in view of our looming international participation. The soccer fraternity is waiting with abated breath to see their local heroes pit their might against the likes of Cameroon, Zambia; you name them.
As difficult as 1991 was, it was comforting to have the unqualified and unconditional support we got from all our sponsors. They met all their obligations and encouraged us in accomplishing our goals in that turbulent year.
CASTLE LEAGUE
It was "Second Time Lucky' for Iwisa Kaizer Chiefs when they won the Castle League in 1991. As we all know, this is one honour that somehow manages to elude Iwisa Kaizer Chiefs whenever they are within its grasp. They dethroned the very Sundowns who took it from them in 1990.
1991 saw a very pulsating end to the Castle League, especially for contenders for the BP Top Eight. Eventually, Iwisa Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns, Fairways Stars, Umtata Bucks, Orlando Pirates, Moroka Swallows, Jomo Midas Cosmos and Hellenic, in that order, qualified for the BP Cup.
The 1991 Castle League consisted of 24 teams. Four teams were relegated, leaving a balance of twenty teams. These remaining teams were joined by two (2) teams from the O K League, viz Cape Town Spurs and Ratanang.
The 1992 Castle League is made up of the following teams (Alphabetically).Albany City AmazuluBloemfontein Celtic Cape Town Spurs Crusaders United Dangerous Darkies Dynamos Fairways Stars HellenicIwisa Kaizer Chiefs Jomo Midas Cosmos
Lightbodys Santos Manning Rangers Moroka Swallows Orlando Pirates RatanangSharp Highlands Park Sundowns Total Aces Umtata Bucks Vaal Reefs Stars Wits University
At the same time, there was a titanic battle at the bottom of the log for survival of the four teams that had to be relegated to the O K League for the 1992 season. With the exception of Real Taj, who were confirmed relegated candidates already, a battle ensued between five teams. Real Taj were joined by Bosmont Chelsea, African Wanderers and P E Blackpool to the OK League for Cape Towns Spurs and Ratanang took the honours in the OK League and were promoted to the Castle League for the 1992 season.
What an exciting finish it was for the 1991 Castle League.
BOB SAVE
Moroka Swallows maintained a magnificent standard throughout the Bob Save and it came as no surprise when they dethroned the equally enterprising jomo Midas Cosmos of their Bob Save Crown. Swallows is the only club that has won the Bob Save twice in its four-year period.
The Bob Save Final was played before an enthusiastic crowd at the Mecca of Soccer, the FNB Stadium on 7 December 1991.
The Competition kicked off with amateur teams under the able administration of the SAFA.
Who will forget what unknown Zola United (who had just gained promotion from third division to second division) did to the much fancied (first division winners of the Bob Save) Orlando Pirates in the first round proper of the competition? Zola United were ousted by Jomo Midas Cosmos in the next round.
JPS
The jPS final was contested by Dynamos and Sharp Blackpool (now called Sharp Highlands). It took the two teams almost three hours of soccer to decide a winner. Dynamos eventually emerged victors.
Soccer fans were given their moneys' worth from the day of the final at FNB Stadium on 24 August 1991. The replay four days later was a BONUS!
CASTLE CHALLENGE
Iwisa Kaizer Chiefs retained the Castle Challenge for the second year in running, i.e. since its inception when they trounced Orlando Pirates. Chiefs had accounted for Swallows' exit in the semi-finals, the very same Swallows they had robbed of victory in the final, the previous year. The final was played at the FNB on 1st June 1991.
BP TOP EIGHT
The BP Top Eight was taken by Iwisa Kaizer Chiefs in a seven-goals match when they beat Jomo Midas Cosmos 4 - 3 what an exciting final it was! Both clubs did the standard of our Soccer proud.
Defending champs Sundowns were edged out as early as the first round, by Jomo Midas Cosmos who made it to the final. The final was played on 23 February 1991 at the FNB Stadium.
NATIONAL SOCCER LEAGUE
IWISA SPECTACULAR
This soccer event still stands out as the most unique in the world of soccer.Four of the country's most popular teams participate in this one-day, all-day tourna
ment, to raise funds for charity. This forms part of the Leagues' social responsibility programme, and is unprecendented in the world.
Iwisa Kaizer Chiefs reclaimed the trophy from Sundowns when they won it for a record 5th time. 1991 was the sixth year anniversary of the Iwisa Maize Meal Charity Spectacular. The tournament was played before a record-breaking crowd at the FNB Stadium on the 1 7th January, 1991.
At the end of that spectacular event generous donations were made to organisations like Operation FHunger.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
THE NATIONAL SOCCER LEAGUEWe have audited the annual financial statements set out on pages 63 to 72. These financial statements are the responsibility of the executive committee. Our responsibility is to report on these financial statements.
This is the first year we have been responsible for the audit of the annual financial statements. We were appointed auditors in November 1991.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that, in all material respects, fair presentation is achieved in the financial statements. An audit includes an evaluation of the appropriateness of the accounting policies, an examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements, an assessment of the reasonableness of significant estimates and a consideration of the appropriateness of the overall financial statement presentation. We consider that our audit procedures were appropriate in the circumstances.
These statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting practices applicable to a going concern. 3his basis presumes that funds, in particular the ongoing receipt of sponsorship income and the recovery of misappropriated funds referred to in note 15 to the financial statements, will be available to finance future operations and that the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the valuation of assets or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the National Soccer League is unable to continue as a going concern.
We have analysed all payments from the various National Soccer League banking accounts, including the two secret banking accounts referred to in note 15 to the financial statements. In many instances, there was a lack of supporting documentation and of appropriate management authorisation of payments. As a result there were no satisfactory auditing procedures which we could perform in respect of these transactions. Consequently we have been unable to satisfy ourselves as to the validity and classification of recorded payments.
A material portion of the league's income comprises its share of competition gate receipts. There was no adequate system of control over such gate receipts on which we could rely fof the purpose of our audit nor were there satisfactory auditing procedures which we could perform to obtain reasonable assurance that all gate receipts were properly recorded. Consequently, we have been unable to satisfy ourselves as to the completeness and accuracy of the accounting records relating to competition gate receipts.
There is uncertainty as to the ability of Soccer City to refund the long-term loan, encompassing both the unsecured loan and the R1 ticket levy, referred to in note 6 to the financial statements. Consequently, we have been unable to satisfy ourselves of the re-- coverability of this long-term loan.
We do not express an opinion on these financial statements for the year ended 31 December 1991 because of the significance of the matters referred to in the preceding paragraphs.
With the consent of the Executive Committee we have performed certain accounting duties.
