TIME really does fly when youre having fun. Can you believe it has been 10 years since the Premier Soccer Leagues (PSL) Reserve League, the DStv Diski Challenge, was launched?
Well, if you consider the fact that Percy Tau and Grant Kekana are now the senior citizens of South African football, then it all makes sense.
The duo were the stars of the inaugural Diski Challenge way back in 2015 when their then clubs, Mamelodi Sundowns and University of Pretoria, contested the final, with Kekanas Tuks reigning supreme.
Many other stars were unearthed thereafter, with the likes of current Orlando Pirates crowd favourite Relebohile Mofokeng, Stellenbosch FCs Devin Titus and former SuperSport United player Shandr Campbell, who has since moved to Belgium, among those.
Though MultiChoice no longer sponsor the elite Premiership, they have decided to continue with the Diski Challenge for a further five years, and the 2024/25 campaign kicks off this weekend at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium the venue where it all began way back then.
