Defiant MP Tsepo Mhlongo dismisses lawyers’ letter as ‘a desperate attempt to silence me’
The SA Football Association and its president Danny Jordaan have given the DA’s shadow sports minister, Tsepo Mhlongo, an ultimatum to retract the “unfounded remarks and defamatory statements” he made a few months ago by Friday or face legal action.
He insisted he would not be intimidated and further argued that Safa should not use the organisation’s money to fight Jordaan’s battles. The spat began after Mhlongo called for Jordaan’s suspension in comments that were published in the media in the wake of a damning leaked report from former Safa acting CEO Gay Mokoena in April.
“The DA calls for his suspension and investigation into this matter to be conducted by reputable and independent legal practitioners. This will ensure that the findings and recommendations made to the Safa board on the future of Jordaan are objective and unquestionable. Breaking corporate governance principles means he is a one-man show, and that amounts to corruption tendencies,” Mhlongo said in April.
