Safa reinstates Ria Ledwaba as vice-president

The South African Football Association (Safa) has announced the reinstatement of Ria Ledwaba as the vice-president following a recommendation by Natasha Tsichlas.

Tsichlas was appointed as vice-president during the Safa NEC meeting on Saturday to replace Ledwaba.

Ledwaba had been removed alongside fellow former Safa vice-president Gay Mokoena in June 2020.

However, Ledwaba reacted by appealing the decision of her removal through the organisation's arbitration.

Tsichlas has now disclosed that she is withdrawing from the position as vice-president with immediate effect

The former Mamelodi Sundowns managing director proposed to the NEC to bring back Ledwaba, in the interest of football.
