The much-talked-about implementation of video assistant referee VAR has been cast into doubt again, with Premier Soccer League PSL chair Irvin Khoza asking to be excused from questions on the matter, when addressing parliaments portfolio committee on sport, arts and culture on Monday.
Khoza asked to stand down from the meeting, saying he would not be able to answer questions about VAR implementation because there are outstanding meetings with the South African Football Association Safa and sport, arts and culture minister Gayton McKenzie.
Last weekend, McKenzie sent a Safa project team led by former referee Daniel Bennett to Spain to meet potential suppliers on a fact-finding mission as he pushes ahead with his plans to implement VAR.
