The officials are not allowed to wear their working uniforms if they are not on State duty at stadia and failure to comply will cause them to forfeit about 70 per cent of their PLE proceeds. This is as per the PLE Compliance Manual, which was adopted in last week\u2019s ordinary general assembly.<\/p>\n<p><b>Regard<\/b><\/p>\n<p>With regard to the vehicles, the officials must either use those with team branding or those that are not branded at all. This is meant to detach them from the government, as the State does not own a football side. Meanwhile, the compliance manual is a \u2018how to\u2019 guide for member clubs to ensure that the nature and extent of the services to be provided to the league by teams are clear and mandatory standards, the contravention of which is an act of misconduct. It is, therefore, binding on all member clubs as well as their officials, directors, full or part time employees, duly authorised representatives, players or any party to whom any obligation has been delegated by a team. Meanwhile, this past weekend our sister publication, the Eswatini News, reported that the forces teams were not allowed to loan out more than five players. They are forced to sell the surplus players.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
