SECURITY THREATS: High alert at SAFA congress as intimidation targets presidential showdown
SAFA faces mounting controversy ahead of Saturday's presidential election between Danny Jordaan and Sandile Zungu following security threats and the disqualification of three voting regions.
The South African Football Association (SAFA) has taken a significant step against Sandile Zungu's campaign by disqualifying four regional regions from attending and participating in the upcoming SAFA Congress. According to the National Executive Committee, the disqualifications occurred due to the failure to hold regional elections beforehand.
The four regions affected are Amajuba, Harry Gwala, Pixley Ka Seme, and ZFM. Additionally, SAMLFA and SAFCA, two Associate Members, have also decided not to participate in this Congress. The disqualifications, as reported, have shifted the voting landscape, as these regions were believed to be supporting Zungu, who is contesting against the incumbent, Danny Jordaan, for the presidency of SAFA.
