11 May 2025 – The disinformation and coordinated attempt to effect regime change at the South African Football Association (SAFA) continues with claims now that the President was paid more than R10 million from the Association without the knowledge and approval of the NEC in 2020.

These allegations are malicious and mischievous, and quite frankly, laughable. It is inconceivable that the basis of this latest smear emanates from someone who accessed the SAFA financial system illegally, misinterpreted the reports  they generated, and leaked it to third parties in a bid to generate this false narrative. The report that was obtained illegally relates to all payments made to the President since 2007, and covers a period of 18 years during which time Dr Danny Jordaan held various positions in SAFA as CEO until 2008, CEO of the World Cup Bid up until 2006 and CEO of the FIFA World Cup from 2006 until 2011.

It also includes SAFA meeting allowances and honorariums, which were paid to all NEC members over a period exceeding 13 years.

The breakdown is below:

1. Honorarium and NEC meeting allowance paid to all NEC members

2. ⁠Separation payments between SAFA and President when he returned from deployment from the 2010 FIFA World Cup LOC

3. ⁠Bonus paid to the Three Musketeers (Dr Danny Jordaan, Dr Irvin Khoza and Dr Molefi Oliphant) for securing the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which is a substantial portion of the amount that is being bandied about.

This also includes payments from CAF, which are paid into the SAFA account for transfer to Dr Jordaan. These payments are made via the Association’s bank accounts. All the payments made to the President over this period were properly authorized.

All the above were also properly approved by the NEC at the time.

Finally, this is part of the ongoing campaign directed at the SAFA President with a view of effecting regime change. We did provide this explanation to the Sunday newspaper that continues to peddle misinformation, and it is no surprise that the journalist deliberately ignored our full response.
