ZAThe South African Football Association (Safra) is preparing for its elective congress on September 12, where current president Danny Jordaan is expected to face competition from Sandile Zungu, the president of AmaZulu FC. The Safa Governance Committee (GC), chaired by Victor Mogajane, has completed the vetting process for presidential candidates and other committee positions, clearing two candidates for the presidency, 25 out of 30 for the National Executive Committee, 22 out of 27 for the Provincial Executive Committee, and four out of nine for member associations. The names of the cleared candidates will be officially announced after the results are reported to Safa members via CEO Lydia Monyepao, with the announcement expected shortly after Saturday night. Jordaan, seeking a fourth term, faces opposition from Zungu, who has garnered support from notable football figures such as Safa Vice President Bennet Bailey. While Jordaan has faced legal challenges related to fraud, he has not yet been convicted, allowing his candidacy to continue.
