Sunday World reports that in a bizarre move, which may be interpreted as a plan to protect Bafana Bafana team manager Vincent Tseka, the SA Football Association (Safa) has taken the decision to finalise the Teboho Mokoena blunder on a ballot.
The association’s national executive committee (NEC) members will now vote on whether action should be taken against Tseka and Bafana head of delegation David Molwantwa for the gaffe that cost Safa a substantial fine and three points that almost resulted in SA not qualifying for the 2026 Fifa World Cup. Safa NEC member and chairperson of the legal and constitutional affairs committee Poobie Govindasamy’s report into the matter recommended that the matter be finalised by round robin resolution vote on whether disciplinary action should be taken against any or all employees or that warnings be issued or that no further disciplinary action be taken.
His recommendation has been met with fierce criticism and rejection by some NEC members, who say it is an “infringement on the Safa statutes because employee issues are handled by the CEO, and not by the NEC”. Some NEC members said they would not participate in what they call a charade because a resolution was taken at the last NEC meeting in Mbombela to take action against both Tseka and Molwantwa.
