Caso de fraude de Jordaan é adiado para agosto enquanto críticos são expulsos da Safa

O presidente da Associação Sul-Africana de Futebol, Danny Jordaan, compareceu ao tribunal sob acusações de fraude em 25 de maio de 2026. O caso foi adiado para 27 de agosto. Um dia antes, quatro críticos foram expulsos da federação durante seu congresso.

O Tribunal de Magistrados de Palm Ridge ouviu argumentos de ambos os lados antes de definir a nova data. O promotor estadual Moagi Malebati expressou frustração com os atrasos repetidos ligados aos compromissos de futebol de Jordaan. Ele observou que a questão pode se estender até 2030 se os adiamentos continuarem.

A Safa realizou seu congresso ordinário em Kempton Park em 24 de maio de 2026. Os membros votaram pela expulsão de Gladwyn White, Monde Montshiwa, Orapeleng Setlhare e Emma Hendricks. O vice-presidente Linda Zwane afirmou que a decisão seguiu o fato de eles terem recorrido aos tribunais sem esgotar os processos internos.

Jordaan não confirmou se buscará um quarto mandato no congresso eletivo agendado para setembro. As expulsões deixam sua posição praticamente sem desafios por enquanto.
