'Jordaan requested me to vacate the acting Safa CEO position' - Gay Mokoena alleges

Former Safa chief executive officer Gay Mokoena has alleged that he was unconstitutionally pushed out of the organisation by its president Danny Jordaan, whom he accused of breaching corporate governance ethics.

Mokoena resigned as acting Safa CEO on April 15 without explicitly citing reasons for his departure.

But in a leaked letter whose excerpts were published by Times Live, Mokoena claimed that he was “requested to vacate the acting CEO position” by Jordaan.

He alleges that Jordaan acted unconstitutionally to solely dismiss him without approval from the Safa National Executive Committee (NEC).

After Mokoena left the organisation, there has been no replacement and he says Safa is flouting its own constitution by currently operating without a head of the secretariat.
