Safa has been searching for a CEO since Dennis Mumble left in 2018 – he was the last person to occupy the post on a full-time basis. This reflects badly on Danny Jordaan.
So, Safa is searching for a chief executive officer yet again.
Then came Russell Paul, who acted in the position until last October, when he was poached by the Qatar 2022 World Cup organising committee. Unfortunately, Mokoena arrived a the time when Safa’s relationship with the PSL had already soured because of the Outsurance referees sponsorship deal. But he tried to make sense of the situation and was always calm in the face of the dispute.Safa needs someone of Mokoena’s calibre. I thought they would convince him to take over the reins on a full-time basis, because, under him, the association seemed to be going in the right direction.
There is no doubting his administrative capabilities, which he showcased during South Africa’s two bids to host the World Cup – in 2006 and 2010 – which the country successfully staged in the latter year. He will always have a say in how things should be done, especially when things are not going well. But the downside of this is that no one is going to last in the CEO position if Jordaan is always interfering in the day-to-day running of Safa.
As the president, Jordaan has been found wanting and I’m sure he would not want to be the one overseeing the death of Safa.
