The Communications and Marketing Manager of the Premier League, Mr. Moeketsi Ramakatsa, has confirmed the postponement of all Vodacom Premier League matches that were initially scheduled for this weekend.
According to Mr. Ramakatsa, the decision to postpone the matches was made because all match officials will be undergoing mandatory fitness tests on the same days the games were set to take place. As a result, there will be no referees available to officiate the matches.
The Lesotho Premier League issued a circular on Monday informing all Premier League clubs of the schedule change. Initially, the referees’ fitness tests were planned for Sunday, but the responsible committee has since adjusted the schedule, extending the tests to take place over both Saturday and Sunday.
Despite this change, Mr. Ramakatsa assured clubs and fans that fixtures scheduled for April 12 and 13 will proceed as planned without any further disruptions.
The postponed matches include key clashes such as Liphakoe vs. Manonyane, Linare vs. LCS, Lijabatho vs. Lifofane, Lioli vs. Matlama, Ace Maseru vs. Mzamane, Machokha vs. Majantja, and LMPS vs. Bantu FC, all of which were originally set for Saturday.
The league is expected to provide an updated schedule for the affected fixtures in due course. Fans and teams will be looking forward to the announcement of new dates as the competition progresses.
