22 October 2026 – South African Football Association (SAFA) President Dr Danny Jordaan welcomed former Bafana Bafana midfielder Doctor Khumalo to SAFA House on Thursday just days after his appointment to the Association’s Technical Committee.
Khumalo was appointed as Technical Committee chairman Jack Maluleke’s deputy following the SAFA Ordinary Meeting that was held in Sandton, Johannesburg, on Sunday.
Khumalo visited SAFA House on Wednesday where he briefly met with Dr Jordaan and Technical Director Molefi Ntseki.
“Congratulations after your appointment to the SAFA Technical Committee this past weekend. This is the start of journey that I am sure you are looking forward to,” said the SAFA President to Khumalo.
The former Bafana Bafana midfielder, who is a legend of South African football and won the Africa Cup of Nations with the South African senior men’s national team, concurred with the SAFA President and said he is raring to knuckle down and begin work.
“Thank you to President Dr Jordaan, the SAFA NEC and the chairman (Maluleke) for the trust and belief in me. To be honest, I never saw it coming and never thought that so much would be bestowed on me,” Khumalo told www.safa.net.
“This is an eye-opener in terms of the vision of the Association. I am humbled to serve.”
Khumalo said there has been a massive improvement in South African football in different age categories in both male and female in the last five years and he hopes to make a contribution in the coming years.
