The national football indaba proposed by Sports Minister Nathi Mthethwa is hanging in the balance after Safa made it clear that it is not ready to participate in a symposium that would “effectively be controlled by and owned by a third party”
South Africa’s football controlling body has made it clear that it is not ready to participate in a symposium that would “effectively be controlled by and owned by a third party”.
During his budget speech in Parliament four months ago, Mthethwa announced his plan to convene the indaba in an attempt to address persistent problems plaguing South Africa’s national teams. “From the documentation we’ve seen on the structure of the indaba, some elements did not make sense,” said Safa acting chief executive Russell Paul.
“There are many loose comments floating around the corridors and in the media that South African teams are not doing well and are going through a bad patch.” He was out of the country, attending the Rugby World Cup final in Japan yesterday, and efforts to reach his office for comment were unsuccessful.
