Jordaan survives, claims court case has no basis

A defiant Danny Jordaan emerged from Safa’s congress on Saturday, declaring he’s done “tremendously well” despite fraud charges still hanging over his head and the association facing a dire financial situation.

Jordaan did not face a motion to step aside over his ongoing court case, after the four regions that had proposed it withdrew the plan, because they didn’t have sufficient numbers.

“We had to take a step back because some of the regions which we had banked on for support abstained when we had an earlier vote, which went 23-17 against us. Ten regions opting to sit on the fence was an indication that we had to withdraw the motion [for Jordaan to step aside],” a regional leader told Sowetan.
