Kaizer Chiefs' dramatic Nedbank Cup semi-final victory raises questions about the need for VAR technology in South African football. - www.iol.co.za

Earlier, Mamelodi Sundowns took the lead courtesy of Teboho Mokoena, but Chiefs equalised via Wandile Duba before Du Preez made it 2-1 to set up a dream Nedbank Cup final with their fierce rivals Orlando Pirates at Durban's Moses Mabhida on May 10. There is currently no timeline when VAR will be implemented in the country. According to McKenzie, the technology must be integrated through SAFA in accordance with FIFA rules.

McKenzie revealed that his team recently met with the leadership of Safa, which has now set a clear plan in motion to bring VAR to South African football. An advertisement will be published, inviting service providers to submit bids for the technology. This move signals a significant step towards modernising the officiating system in South Africa's football leagues.
