Jordaan, Zungu eligible to contest SAFA presidency
Tumi Dlamini says they did everything to check the eligibility of every single SAFA candidate
The South African Football Association (SAFA) Governance Committee has confirmed that Danny Jordaan and Sandile Zungu, the two candidates vying for the presidency of the organization during the upcoming electoral congress, are both eligible to run. The committee, led by chairperson Victor Mogajane, took 20 days to complete the vetting process, after which they handed over the final list of candidates to Mogajane.
According to Mogajane, only two candidates were nominated for the position of SAFA president. The committee, including vice-chairperson Tumi Dlamini, ensured that all candidates' eligibility was thoroughly checked, according to SAFA's statutes. The committee also revealed that a total of 15 nominees were ineligible for standing in the elections.
For a person to be eligible for the elections, they must have been nominated by a region or associate member in good standing and accepted the nomination. Moreover, they must have served in football for at least 10 years and have no criminal record. SAFA has 14 days to inform all nominees about the result of the vetting process.
