Home | #NotInMyName calls for SAFA’s Jordaan to step down Civil society organisation #NotInMyName International is urging South African Football Association (SAFA) President Danny Jordaan to step down as a case against him is expected to start this week in court. Jordaan is accused of fraud and theft , as well as using SAFA funds to hire a communications company to manage his image after former ANC MP Jennifer Ferguson alleged he had raped her in 2017. #NotInMyName Co-founder and Secretary-General Themba Masango says, “Finally, the Hawks, have decided to make sure that this case needs to be ventilated in a court of law and on Wednesday they’ll be appearing in court, and there’s probably more charges that are going to be added there.
We are glad that this issue is finally going to court, but we are saying that while this is happening, we are urging the President of SAFA Mr Jordaan, to step down until the resolution of criminal charges against him is over.” Masango also called on Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton Mackenzie to support Jordaan in stepping down, saying, “South Africa needs to have a clean governing body of SAFA.” PODCAST | SAFA President faces mounting calls to resign: SABC © 2024.
