Safa hits back at Mokoena's allegations, pledges support to Jordaan

Gay Mokoena stepped down as CEO of the South African Football Association (Safa) last week, almost five months after being appointed to the position on an interim basis.

When Mokoena was appointed in November 2019, Safa said the role was for three months.

Now, Mokoena alleged Safa president Danny Jordaan was actually the one who requested him to vacate the position in what has been deemed as an explosive letter by the former acting CEO.
