Authorities allege that Jordaan used SAFA’s funds for personal expenses between 2014 and 2018. This included hiring private security guards and a PR company without permission from SAFA’s board.
Hawks spokesperson Colonel Katlego Mogale said they searched SAFA’s office on 8 March 2024, where they seized computers and files as evidence, leading to the arrests.
