SA Football Association (Safa) CEO Tebogo Motlanthe has revealed that he personally called Ghana FA general secretary Prosper Harrison Addo to seek clarity after disparaging quotes attributed to the West African official emerged at the weekend.

Addo reportedly mocked his South African counterparts in a media interview apparently conducted soon after Fifa dismissed Safa's complaint against the result of Bafana Bafana's 0-1 World Cup qualifying defeat to Ghana in Cape Coast on November 14. He was quoted as saying Safa “knows nothing in football and this case clearly shows how incompetent they are” among other choice barbs.

There has been simmering tension between Safa and its Ghana counterparts since the South Africans registered their unhappiness with Ndiaye moments after the conclusion of the Bafana defeat. Safa sent documents to the world governing body, and to the Confederation of African Football, including a report by former Fifa referee Andile “Ace” Ncobo. But these efforts appeared to have come to nothing after Fifa dismissed the case at the weekend without providing any details.

Aykhale once.

If I were SAFA_net I'd withdraw the appeal. It's pointless to fight something that we all witnessed as a corruption while you don't have a backup. Let's just accept defeat and move on.
