BusinessLive reports that SA Football Association (Safa) technical director Walter Steenbok has been called to a disciplinary hearing in Sandton on 25 June on allegations of gross misconduct.
Steenbok is charged with breaching Safa’s statutes, internal policies and procedures. The charges include gross misconduct, gross mismanagement, gross negligence, gross dereliction of duties, gross insubordination and gross insolence. Steenbok will be asked to state his case regarding allegations of a hostile relationship with Safa’s head of women’s football, Romaney Pinnock, and allegations of insulting national executive committee (NEC) member David Molwantwa. Pinnock was allegedly manhandled out of Safa House on Steenbok’s instructions in January. Molwantwa apparently complained of the short notice given for a technical committee meeting in February, saying he would disregard the notification until “proper processes” were followed. Safa alleges Steenbok “recorded Molwantwa could not wait to display his character and hatred towards you; is not your friend and therefore he must respect you; was displaying his ‘low class’ in public; illustrated conduct that was stupid and disrespectful and ought to cease behaving like a ‘loose cannon’”.
