“As former members of the national executive committee of the South African Football Association (Safa NEC), we have noted with interest the long overdue arrest of the Safa president Danny Jordaan following a criminal complaint laid by Willie Mooka, a former Safa NEC member, against the Safa president on May 20 2020 at the time when Mooka was still a member of the Safa NEC.
“Mooka’s complaint followed the Safa NEC’s rejection of a report by the former Safa CEO Dennis Mumble which contained damning and serious allegations against Jordaan after Mumble’s refusal to sign a contract to employ the Safa president’s personal public relations agency to clean up his image following rape allegations levelled against him in October 2017.
“Mumble as the CEO refused to sign the contract on the basis that the rape allegations faced by Jordaan was a personal matter and had nothing to do with Safa’s mandate to develop football in the country.
“Despite Mumble’s refusal to sign the contract, an agreement was signed behind his back by Jordaan himself, without the knowledge and consent of Mumble. After the NEC rejected Mumble’s report, Mooka, in fulfilment of his fiduciary duty and at great cost to his role as a member of the NEC, then lodged a criminal complaint with the SA Police Service (SAPS).
“Mooka’s complaint also included Jordaan’s unilateral engagement of a private security service for his personal protection at Safa’s expense in June 2018 without the knowledge and consent of Mumble and or the Safa NEC.”
