Voices | Having to choose between Danny Jordaan and Ria Ledwaba in the election for the presidency of the Safa is like choosing between cholera and the plague

South Africa Headlines News

South Africa Latest News, South Africa Headlines

To paraphrase French football legend Eric Cantona, having to choose between Danny Jordaan and Ria Ledwaba in the election for the presidency of the South African Football Association is like choosing between cholera and the plague. Solly Mohlabeng might also be in the race as the third and final candidate, but the real battle will be between Jordaan, the current president, and Ledwaba, his deputy.

Jordaan has been heavily criticised by his former colleagues. Former chief executives Dennis Mumble and Gay Mokoena have accused Jordaan of corporate governance violations. The two penned strongly worded letters that highlighted how the Safa president had essentially become a dictator. In her book Fran: A Song For Banyana, Hilton-Smith slammed Jordaan, saying “his style of ‘leadership’ consisted of shouting a lot and trying to intimidate people”.

The gains women’s football has made are mainly as a result of the players elevating Banyana Banyana to the point where sponsors are slowly seeing their worth. People like Jordaan and Ledwaba haven’t done much to improve things – in fact, the women’s game has grown in spite of them. The problem isn’t only Jordaan, but the people who have allowed him to stay in power since he ascended to the presidency in 2013.

errolbsk “Which is Which”🧐

They are squabbling for power 🤯🤯When are we having an indaba focused on schools football I haven't heard him speak on school football the root cause of all our problems is that no attention paid to schools football development in SA.

In short.., Siyanyelwa!!!!

😅 respectively?

More Anarchy AT SAFA. The Mamparaz that voted for Jordan don't have an interest at heart of our football. They don't want progress at all. What a mess they have created!. Jordan is not a right person to take our football forward. He is the weakest link.

_OregoleleM Voices ke mang?

_OregoleleM 😲😂😂😂😂

Are there no young people around? These old people should stay at home.

I'd prefer Ria, she does not face arrest if she flies to a meeting in Europe.

Jeepers!

SAFA Win of Danny MugabeOfSAFA is never a win but man messed up the seat no one should see that...

Ke moeskont, Dannie, Irvin and their clique are holding us back

This is the picture that is going to be clearer daily with machinations to entrench the hegemony of the DannyJordaan

Was fortunate to have a discussion with one learned friend on coaching about what exactly should have been areas expounded upon by SAFAPrez2022 rialedwaba22 safootballforum SAFootballNews the Football fraternity in general

Danny Jordan and Ria Ledwaba do not deserve the position of SAFA President because the best performing national soccer team, Banyana Banyana, do not have sponsors and they are underpaid or they're probably not paid at all! We don't even have a female soccer league!

i hope Ria is not cholera. You must go and riastudy journalism.

BYaweJC Hallelujah
