Safa rescinds ban, but Ria Ledwaba vows to continue challenging Danny Jordaan’s leadership
Former Safa vice-president Ria Ledwaba has vowed that she’ll never back down on speaking out about governance issues at the national football governing body.
Ledwaba maintains that the Safa national executive committee did not take the decision, but insinuated that it was in fact Safa president Danny Jordaan who made that call. Earlier this month, Safa declared the veteran administrator persona non grata on the grounds that she brought the soccer controlling body into disrepute, citing Ledwaba’s decision to take Safa to court declaring a dispute, key among its decisions to ban her.
Sporting her trademark peroxide short hair, Ledwaba said she has called the conference to respond to what she deemed was an unconstitutional ban from football.I want to say to South Africans that this is a demonstration of an organisation that has collapsed. It’s a certain individual because I don’t believe the NEC ever took that decision. I know, that’s how Safa operates. Ask them for the notice of the meeting - when and where that meeting was held. I can guarantee you, there’ll be no such. One NEC member will say the president will call one person and say ‘look, the majority of the NEC are saying we must declare MaLedwaba persona non grata’, meanwhile he’s the first person he’s talking to.
