SAFA pays legal costs for Danny Jordaan in corruption case
What happened
SAFA's National Executive Committee resolved to pay all legal costs for Danny Jordaan and CFO Gronie Hluyo in a court case. This matter originated from a Hawks investigation into alleged misuse of R1.3 million in association funds. SAFA stated that the complainants in the case are former NEC members and employees, not the association itself.
