In 2017, former ANC MP Jennifer Ferguson alleged that SA soccer boss Danny Jordaan raped her at a Nelson Mandela Bay hotel room 25 years ago.
PRETORIA– The South African Human Rights Commission has written to beleaguered South African soccer boss, Danny Jordaan, requesting him to participate in a mediatory process following allegations of rape against him reported by former ANC MP Jennifer Ferguson.
“Through mediatory processes, positive behaviour is promoted more effectively, expeditiously and constructively, with increased prospects of strengthening positive conduct. The commission therefore seeks your cooperation, as determined by the South African Human Rights Act 40 of 2013 , to resolve this matter through mediation.”
Jordaan, a former mayor of Nelson Mandela Bay, has denied that the incident happened and has insisted that he is innocent. In 2017, he denied Ferguson's offer of mediation between the two, saying it ran the risk of the public perceiving ''that there is a cover up away from the glare of public scrutiny".
