He says he is not changing the organisation’s constitution to favour his bid for a third term of office
SA Football Association president Danny Jordaan has addressed Ria Ledwaba’s decision to take the federation to court and allegations of changing the organisation’s constitution to favour his bid for a third term of office.
Indications are that, according to Safa rules, Ledwaba, who is set to go toe-to-toe with Jordaan and Safa Tshwane president Solly Mohlabeng in the presidential race, could even be banned for her actions.“That’s the matter in which Caf [the Confederation of African Football] and Fifa have expressed their views and we will have to wait for the court processes to be finalised and we will speak on that matter,” Jordaan said on Wednesday.
“It was not the NEC [national executive committee], it was just our legal committee that went through and called all the provinces and spent a weekend with them.
