As the 2024/2025 Betway Premiership season nears its thrilling climax, fans and clubs are scratching their heads over one glaring issue — the official PSL website still reflects incorrect standings.

Yes, with only a few crucial rounds remaining, the log table remains outdated, despite Royal AM’s expulsion from the league.

The PSL Board of Governors recently endorsed a recommendation from the executive committee to cancel Royal AM’s membership with immediate effect after the club failed to honour fixtures earlier this year.

As a result, the KwaZulu-Natal-based side was indefinitely suspended.

But, despite this major ruling, Royal AM’s name stubbornly lingers on the PSL’s official table — as of Sunday, 20 April — creating confusion among clubs, fans, and analysts alike.

The implications are serious: Royal AM had only played 11 matches.

All results involving them have now been nullified, meaning teams who played them have either lost points or remain unaffected.

The five clubs who defeated Royal AM — including Mamelodi Sundowns and TS Galaxy — are hit hardest, losing three points. Those who drew, like Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs, lose a point.

And the likes of Orlando Pirates and Marumo Gallants, who never faced them, escape untouched.

This shake-up means all teams will now play 28 games, and crucially, no side will be automatically relegated. Instead, the team finishing 15th will enter the playoffs.

However, the PSL’s failure to update its log paints a false picture — showing Sundowns 12 points ahead of Pirates instead of the actual nine, while confusing the MTN8 race with Chiefs incorrectly placed in eighth.

For a professional league, this is simply not good enough. With so much at stake, fans deserve transparency. Come on, PSL — it’s time to clean up the mess.
