El caso de fraude de Jordaan se pospone hasta agosto mientras expulsan a críticos de la Safa

El presidente de la Asociación de Fútbol de Sudáfrica, Danny Jordaan, compareció ante el tribunal por cargos de fraude el 25 de mayo de 2026. El caso fue pospuesto hasta el 27 de agosto. Un día antes, cuatro críticos fueron expulsados de la federación durante su congreso.

El Tribunal de Magistrados de Palm Ridge escuchó los argumentos de ambas partes antes de fijar la nueva fecha. El fiscal estatal Moagi Malebati expresó su frustración por los continuos retrasos vinculados a los compromisos futbolísticos de Jordaan. Señaló que el asunto podría prolongarse hasta 2030 si continúan los aplazamientos.

La Safa celebró su congreso ordinario en Kempton Park el 24 de mayo de 2026. Los miembros votaron a favor de expulsar a Gladwyn White, Monde Montshiwa, Orapeleng Setlhare y Emma Hendricks. El vicepresidente Linda Zwane indicó que la decisión se debió a que acudieron a los tribunales sin agotar los procesos internos.

Jordaan no ha confirmado si buscará un cuarto mandato en el congreso electivo programado para septiembre. Por ahora, las expulsiones dejan su posición prácticamente sin oposición.
