South Africa FA bans 15 officials for breaking FIFA rules
The South African Football
Association (Safa) has banned 15 officials for life for trying to take the
national association to court in violation of Fifa rules.
15 officials from the South African
Football Association have been banned for life for trying to take the national
association to court over violations of FIFA rules.
The election of Danny Jordaan as
SAFA’s new president in September of this year spurred several reactions from
the central Free State province and the decision made by SAFA was due to grievances
from officials over elections. Jordaan, the 2010 World Cup's head organizer,
was elected to lead SAFA on 28 September.
According to the governing body,
the now expelled officials should have resolved their grievances over voting
procedures through SAFA and its "mechanisms and structures". SAFA
described the officials as "malcontents.'' The expelled
officials who are from 3 local associations are as well banned from all
football activities.
