SAFATimesLIVE reports that the disciplinary committee hearing against SA Football Association (Safa) technical director (TD) Walter Steenbok, which was to have sat from Tuesday, has been postponed to next month.

Steenbok has been charged by Safa for “gross mismanagement, gross negligence, gross dereliction of duties, gross insubordination and gross insolence”. He has also been charged with breaching Safa’s statutes and internal policies and procedures. Steenbok was due to have stated his case regarding allegations of a hostile relationship with Safa’s head of women's football Romaney Pinnock and insulting national executive committee (NEC) member David Molwantwa. Pinnock confirmed on Thursday she was informed the hearing was postponed but did not have the date when or further details. Among the allegations Steenbok faces, are that he “failed and/or neglected and/or refused to provide Pinnock with any strategic direction/guidance, targets, ways of working, schedules or legacy documents, to assist her in tendering her services to Safa and meeting her contractual KPAs”.
