#FirstThingsFirst - SAFA leadership in question as boss gets arrested

Loading player...
The arrest of Danny Jordaan on charges of fraud and theft amounting to R1.3m should shine a spotlight not just on the South African Football Association (SAFA) President but the organisation’s leadership. According to News24, some members of SAFA's national executive committee (NEC) – the association's highest decision-making body – want to bring a motion for Jordaan to step aside as president while he handles his legal woes. The team and listeners discussed whether he should recuse himself from his role and if his bail conditions were too lenient, especially being allowed to travel on official duty as per his plea.
