5 December 2024 – Several South African Football Association (SAFA) Regions travelled to Johannesburg to offer their support to President Dr Danny Jordaan and send out a statement on Thursday.

Umkhanyakude, Zululand, Ugu, Umgungundlovu and iLembe Regions were present at the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court in the East of Johannesburg when Dr Jordaan, Chief Financial Officer Gronie Hluyo and Grit Communications Director, Trevor Neethling, appeared before the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court in the East of Johannesburg on Thursday, 5 December 2024.

Magistrate Shirley Soko postponed the matter to Tuesday, 10 December 2024 after only a few minutes of deliberations, but the regions said they would return to support the SAFA President next week.

“I think the whole country knows that there are allegations that have been leveled against our President, and we are here today to support him as the region,” said Ilembe Region President Nkokhelo Zulu.

“Till today, we believe that the things we are hearing and the allegations against our President are not true. We are here to show that all these things they are saying, we do not believe them.”

Umkhanyakude Region President said there would have been more people at the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court today, but many of them stayed behind to attend the 2024 SALGA Games in Ethekwini from 5-8 December 2024.

“They will be here with us next week when we return to support our President. We are coming from Umkhanyakude and we are here for one thing, to support the President as the Region. We will be back.”

SAFA remains unwavering in its commitment to the growth and development of football in the country, and continues to prioritise the sport’s potential to unite, uplift and create opportunities for South Africa.

South African Football: The team’s first major tournament win was the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
