“I gave that money to four regions, I gave each R25 0000. They deserve it, not us," says Ledwaba.SA Football Association presidential hopeful Ria Ledwaba says she sent back the money which was paid to the organisation’s executive because she felt they did not deserve it.Safa recently approved honorarium benefits for its national executive committee which includes its president and the deputies.
“The media must start asking questions about the money that’s suddenly being paid to NEC members,” she said on Thabiso Mosia’s Sport On on Thursday evening. “On December 23 we got R20 000 which I sent back. Recently we got R100 000… for what?” While many applauded her on social media for refusing to take the payments, others questioned why it was only now that she refused when it has been paid for the longest time.
Ledwaba also explained her relationship with current incumbent Danny Jordaan and how it soured after she questioned some of his decisions.
