Sandile Zungu confident he has the numbers to win SAFA elections
To win the elections, you need at least 28 of the 52 regions.
SAFA presidential candidate Sandile Zungu is confident of securing the necessary region endorsements to win the upcoming elections in Johannesburg on Saturday. Zungu, who faces incumbent Danny Jordaan, asserts that their efforts have been sufficient to win over the required 28 regions out of 52. Zungu credits a "formidable group of individuals" - including some from the regions and NEC - for their support in his campaign.
Initially, they believed their opponents had regional majority support, but they have managed to win over "swing regions" and even penetrate previously non-supportive areas. Zungu is confident about their victory, aiming for more than the minimum required, with a goal of a "clean sweep" - including support from not only regions but also NEC members, associate members, and special members.
Despite Jordaan's recent show of force with endorsements from KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape, Zungu remains unfazed and expresses gratitude for the regions that have openly supported him, acknowledging that some have done so despite potential repercussions.
