FIFA's top official for Africa Ashford Mamelodi has called it quits from the World's football governing body
Long serving and popular FIFA regional Development officer based in Botswana Ashford Mamelodi has stepped down.
Mamelodi, widely regarded as Mr Fix it in the region and a great friend to the Kenyan Football Federation cited poor health and age as the primary reasons why he decided to step down.
A popular and regular visitor to Kenya over the years in his missions to streamline the working relations of the local Football Association, including overseeing the last elections, he is credited to have brokered many truces that has in the past dogged down football administration in Kenya over the years.
