Furthermore, Dr Jordaan is accused of irregularly using the Association’s funds to hire a communications company for his personal image.

Dr Jordaan hogged the headlines in 2017 when former ANC Member of Parliament Jennifer Ferguson alleged that she was raped by the current SAFA president.

At the time, Dr Jordaan was still the president; the position he first occupied after the 2013 SAFA presidential election.

His two co-accused are SAFA Chief Financial Officer Gronie Hluyo and businessman Trevor Neethling.
