Current South African Football Association president Danny Jordaan retains his seat following a landslide victory on Saturday.
The result of the South African Football Association’s elections was never in doubt. Danny Jordaan, who has held the post of the association’s head honcho since 2013, prevailed overJordaan received 186 votes to comfortably win the elective race by a landslide, as the majority Safa members who had voiced their support for him in the lead-up to the elective congress stuck to their guns and voted him in for a third term.
That plan will not involve Ledwaba, whose time with the association has likely come to an end. She is not eligible for a role in Safa’s National Executive Committee after not being not nominated for the post by her region. This was confirmed by Safa CEO Tebogo Motlanthe, who said: “If she’s no longer a member of the NEC, she can’t be a vice-president. The only automatic vice-president is the chair of the league, and the others must come from the NEC.”to halt the elective congress was thrown out by Pretoria High Court Judge Brenda Neukircher, on the basis that she had dragged her heels in bringing the matter before the judicial system.
“This is not the end for me, I have the Ria Ledwaba Foundation that is giving back to local communities. I got a lot from football. This game is in my DNA and there’s nothing to be discouraged about these elections.”On the day preceding the elections, journalists attending a press briefing meant to offer an update on the state of readiness were caught off guard.
