The South African Football Association will enter talks with the national broadcaster later this month to discuss broadcasting rights for future Bafana Bafana matches.
The current deal expires next year and according to SAFA president Kirsten Nematandani South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) will have to significantly increase their outlay if they want to sign a new deal.
SAFA will also reportedly cease to pay the SABC's production costs for national team games and expect to receive and increase on the current £45000 that the SABC pays for Bafana matches.
“Our relationship with the SABC is very important in particular when you consider that football is a matter of national interest. But the problem is that the current broadcast deal is not beneficial to our organization. We want a fair deal when we renegotiate a new contract”, said Nematandani.
He insists that the highest revenue must come from broadcasting and thus a new deal should be considered.
