“This is about the attitude of Jordan and Safa. They don’t want public criticism and they forget that Safa is a public entity” TiisetsoMalepa

DA Member of Parliament Mhlongo was last week slapped with a letter of demand from lawyers instructing him to apologise and withdraw statements he made and published in the media regarding Safa president Danny Jordaan in April.

Mhlongo stuck to his guns and responded to Safa and Jordaan through a Cape Town-based law firm acting on his behalf.

They don’t want public criticism and they forget that Safa is a public entity.”
