Khoza: I feel like a kid in a candy shop

Cape Town - Irvin Khoza has declared his delight at being re-elected unopposed as the Premier Soccer League chairperson on Tuesday.

The Orlando Pirates boss expressed his excitement at once more taking on the role of chairperson of the South African top flight.

He told reporters, "For me, personally, I am very honored to have been given a new mandate by the members. I'm very excited with my new team and I feel like a kid in a candy shop."

Former executive committee members who are not returning include John Comitis, Dan Simelane and Mike Mokoena.
