WHEN ARE THE PREMIER SOCCER LEAGUE TRANSFER WINDOWS?

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) transfer calendar is split into two registration periods each season, the main pre-season window and the mid-season window.

Pre-season transfer window: Opens on 1 July and usually runs until September, allowing clubs to complete squad building before and during the opening weeks of the campaign.

Mid-season transfer window: Opens on 1 January and closes in February, giving clubs an opportunity to strengthen squads for the second half of the season.

HOW ARE SALARIES AND CONTRACTS STRUCTURED IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN PSL?

Player salaries and contracts in the PSL are not controlled by a league salary cap or minimum wage structure. Instead, agreements are negotiated directly between the club, player and player representative. As a result, earnings vary significantly depending on several factors.

Player profile and experience: Established stars, senior internationals and Bafana Bafana players can earn more up to R1 million per month, particularly when image rights and commercial agreements are included.

Meanwhile, younger players and footballers at smaller clubs may earn closer to R20,000–30,000 monthly at top clubs. The figures are as low as R12 000 at smaller clubs.

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST TRANSFER FEES IN PSL HISTORY?

Some of the biggest transfers involving South African clubs include:

Percy Tau: R64 million (Mamelodi Sundowns to Brighton & Hove Albion, 2018)
Mbekezile Mbokazi: R52 million (Orlando Pirates to Chicago Fire FC, 2025)
Thulani Serero: R50 million (Ajax Cape Town to AFC Ajax, 2011)
Mbulelo Mabizela: R46 million (Orlando Pirates to Tottenham Hotspur, 2003).

HOW DO PRE-CONTRACTS DEALS WORK?

Pre-contract agreements allow clubs to secure players before their current contracts expire.
A club negotiates directly with the player. He signs an agreement confirming the player will join once the existing contract ends. This means no transfer fee is paid.

HOW DO FREE AGENT SIGNINGS WORK?

A free transfer happens when a player becomes available without a transfer fee, usually after their contract expires.

Direct negotiations: The new club negotiates directly with the player and representatives. There is no need to agree a transfer amount with another club.

Mutual termination: Players may also become free agents if both player and club agree to terminate the contract before expiry.

Le risque épidémique de la flambée d'Ebola en République démocratique du Congo est jugé "élevé" aux niveaux national et régional, et "faible" au niveau mondial, a annoncé mercredi l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS). Elle a précisé qu'elle l'épidémie "ne répond pas" pour l'heure aux critères d'une urgence pandémique. Le ressortissant américain ayant contracté le virus Ebola en RD Congo a été hospitalisé dans une unité spécialisée à Berlin.

Une étude publiée le 18 mai par l'Imperial College de Londres, en collaboration avec l'OMS, estime que l'épidémie d'Ebola Bundibugyo en RDC est bien plus large que ce que les chiffres officiels montrent. Le 19 mai, le ministre congolais de la Santé Roger Kamba faisait état de 543 cas probables et 136 décès probables. Au 16 mai, date de référence de l'étude, les autorités notifiaient 336 cas suspects et 88 décès. Pour l'OMS, l'épidémie est déjà suspectée d'avoir fait 139 morts pour près de 600 cas probables au total. Selon ces chercheurs, le nombre réel de malades se situerait entre 400 et 800, et pourrait dépasser mille personnes. Les États-Unis ont classé la province d'Ituri en niveau 4 : ne pas voyager.
