The Democratic Alliance has lashed out at the South African Football Association over concern that SAFA has yet to pay match fees to our national football team following the international friendly against Zimbabwe in Durban last month.
DA’s Donald Lee this matter warrants an immediate and unequivocal resolution from SAFA. Players' wages must be paid this week.
“It would be entirely reprehensible for SAFA to start to create chaos and uncertainty in Bafana Bafana's ranks just months before their most important tournament ever.
“While we appreciate that CEO Leslie Sedibe has barely been in the job a month, there can be no excuse for failing to pay players' wages, especially in an organisation that generated R32-million profit last year,” said Donald Lee.
Lee added that this is not the first time that SAFA has made a significant profit in a financial year and then failed to make good on its commitments. Clearly this situation must not be allowed to repeat itself, particularly with the morale of our national football team ahead of the 2010 World Cup at stake.
