PSL points finger at Jordaan

PSL points finger at Jordaan

Posted: 2009-09-29 15:47

The Press briefing, which was meant to be chaired by Irvin Khoza today at the PSL offices in Parktown, started 45 minutes late and the events that unfolded during the briefing were as uncomfortable as the long wait.

The message sent to the media had stated that Khoza was going to personally address the media on an urgent matter, but when PSL CEO Kjetil Siem kick-started the briefing, there was no sign of Khoza, in the process angering the media, who packed the room.
 
The PSL, as an affiliate of Safa, is clearly not happy with football’s mother body, Safa, and Danny Jordaan.
 
In a statement released to the media, in the middle of today’s PSL executive meeting, it is clear Jordaan is accused of dirty tactics in the run during the elections.
 
The PSL’s letter, sent to Safa CEO Raymond Hack on September 14 and never received a response, according to the PSL, reads in parts as follows: “We have read with concern the comments which have appeared in the media regarding the annual general meeting of the association of 26 September 2009… the references in the media of persons standing for election who do not appear to be eligible to stand let alone be elected is particularly concerning.
 
“Neither Dr [Danny] Jordaan nor Mr [Veli] Mahlangu is eligible to stand, let alone be elected. Dr Jordaan and Mr Mahlangu cannot want to contribute to the association by standing for election while at the same time ignoring the founding documents [constitution] of the very same association they say they want to serve.
 
“Dr Jordaan is also an employee of the association [in his capacity as the 2010 World Cup’s LOC Chief Executive]. He himself made plain at the meeting of the association of 27 September 1997 and [the PSL quotes him as follows]: “No person employed full-time by Safa could stand for election to the Safa Committee and this would take care of representatives, democracy, transparency and accountability as agreed to at the Soccer Indaba.
 
“It is thus worrying to see Dr. Jordaan mentioned as a candidate… if he is committed to the constitution he must clearly be mistaken about his eligibility. Or is this why the media continually refers to another candidate [Kirsten Nematandani] being a back-up in case Dr Jordaan is precluded? If it is the latter, then this is inexcusable conduct on the part of a person supposedly supportive of the constitution and its aims. But it is not our intention to debate the rights and wrongs of the matter. We simply want the constitution to be respected and applied… please respond to us immediately and confirm that neither Dr Jordaan nor Mr Mahlangu are standing for election,” the statement reads.
 
The PSL received no response as stated earlier and this could mean that they will challenge the legitimacy of the elections in their next Board of Governors meeting.
 
The PSL confirmed today that the date for the board meeting will be decided during the ongoing executive meeting.
 
However, Jordaan told KickOff.com earlier today that he withdrew for the interest of football in this country, though it is alleged, as stated by the PSL, that Jordaan, withdrew at the last minute knowing his faction, the Football Transformation Forum, already convinced regions to vote for the FTF faction by fronting Jordaan to garner votes, knowing Nematandani would be the compromised candidate for the position.
 
But Jordaan gave a different version, when speaking to KickOff.com earlier today.
 
“We had told the whole world we would have the elections during the AGM and I thought if I am the obstacle to having that election, then I’d withdraw, which I did. I was not going to be used as an excuse not to have the elections! So it was going to be a straight fight between the two, Khoza and Nematandani,” Jordaan said earlier.
 
The question now could be; why did Khoza withdraw when Jordaan, who was allegedly not eligible, had already withdrawn?
 
Did he realise that FTF’s alleged tactic had worked against him; therefore he knew FTF had enough regions to win the elections?
 
Siem was forced by the media to go and get Khoza, but Khoza told Siem he wasn’t going to comment.
 
Hack was not available to confirm why the PSL never received a response for the letter they sent on September 14.

There is no way that one person can serve on all potfolios at the same time!

Khoza is capable to take that position.

GERALD: 2009-09-29 16:15

Jordaan is likely to be used as a scape goat by those who thought football revolves around them. Every beginning has an end and every end has a beginning. Change is pain

solomzi: 2009-09-29 16:31

SAFA was adviced by FIFA about the repacutions of this unfortunate elections, did they listen NO, I listened with shock and awe to Nonkonyane on Radion on Sunday and did not believe my ears, last night it was Jomo who also said controvetial things about BAFANA BAFANA and that people will have to disclose the profits of the World Cup, now this! What a SHAME we have become! WOW.

GodsArt: 2009-09-29 16:32

Sore losers....FTF did a sterling job by garnering those votes. Reading the comments leading up to the elections made by some of Khoza's backers, they were so confident of winning but on Sa****ay they ate humble pie.

KGOPAS : 2009-09-29 16:50

Khoza is not glued to be safa's president if the regions don't want him they don't want him so do I.

Petrus  : 2009-09-29 16:53

Is khoza eligible to stand for election, since is the chairman of the leaque?b cos the constitution they talking about as the chairman of the leaque u automatically the deputy president of safa to add to that he is also pirates boss, so he is also ineligeble, my advice to mr dictator just accept, u shu d have resigned from ur many jobs before u qualify if u were fair, and this gave me and impression that if khoza wuld have won the election motaung was going to takeover the league as the boss and one of ur deputy which is not gud for soccer. It wont suprise me i the leaque threatens to break away from safa. To all the public let support our new president.

Benjamin: 2009-09-29 16:55

The Iron Duke, i know you are disappointed at the election results but for us Buccuneers it is a blessing in disguise. Maybe it is time you give Mr Motaung a chance to run the PSL as well.Our team need your full support so give others a chance and lets see how good they are. Jomo Sono must be appointed as SAFA CEO because he talks too much.

mash-do : 2009-09-29 16:58

y khoza is so desperate to get da position?i smell a rat here

Dee: 2009-09-29 17:00

Wherever Mr. Nonkonyani has been he has the proud record of leaving behind a trail of destruction. For those who can't see it coming then brace yourself: This AGM and election was not about Khoza or Jordaan, it was about putting the Chief in the driving seat while his puppet is wearing the crown, seemingly running the show. In the next AGM Chief Nonkonyana will be elected President. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Here's to politics meeting FOOTBALL. SAFA is headed from one hell of a ride.

Selfish Khoza must accept the defeat. We don’t need dictators in South Africa. The Polokwane trapping will continue to bring down dictatorship ideology. Away with one man show away. Pirates supporters are now defending Khoza. How dare you are? Your loyalty to Pirates makes you stub so low. I can’t imagine for once how you people can defend Khoza for losing in a democratic process. We will not be fooled by cheap statements from PSL. Khoza is obviously using them just like brainwashed Pirates supporters.

What is wrong when another person is given a chance to lead? It is true that the mafia (Khoza) is as good as his guns and alleged criminal activities. Thanks God he’s been defeated hands down as I write this comment. To all other club bosses who supported Khoza, yes you had your choice and there was nothing wrong about it. Now accept the defeat and support the chosen candidate. I hope you have learned a thing or two from COPE.

Khoza did not contest so is Jordaan hence Nematandani won unopposed. He was clearly an outsider and he stood no chance at all against 2 heavy weights.

Well it has happened, i hope this issue is put to rest.

now mr Wonder moron scum bag, go to tell.

OBG: 2009-09-29 17:12

Another thing, I fail to understand their logic of saying FTF manipulated the process. Yes, they campaigned for their member (whether Jordaan & Kirsten). What guarantees them that people would have supported Khoza? I t is not like Jordaan withdrew after he was elected. Yes they did their calculations and if any member was not happy about Kirsten, he would have changed his mind. Their thinking is as weak as losers.

Frank: 2009-09-29 17:14

Khoza and his crooks did not want to postpone the election as per FIFA sugestion so that Danny does not qualify. Now they have been bitten at their own game. Nematandani will succeed. All the crooks need to do is to get out of the way for good.

digga - stop hiding and defending Khoza for your loyalty to Pirates. Khoza lost and that's the reality. Whether he was going to stand or not, he was ashamed to be embarrassed by Kirsten. Let him go and continue with his mafia deals. He was thinking he will call all the shots like he do at PSL. We all know how underachievers Pirates players are been awarded every season. He probably promised his entire puppet to reward them for those daylight robberies they perform every season. It is hard to criticize him as a Pirates supporter, but we the general public, we are not going to be fool by Khoza.

Mr khoza shud have heed the call of fifa to postpone the election, so the way he was so confident of being voted in, he shud have asked his puppet hack to postpone this election. By the way hack is the guy who gave pirates u12 the opportunity to go and represent us overseas as the youth national team, no wonder our soccer is going down,if u v got pirates membership or ur working for bucs u automatically qulify to work at safa.

Who did he promise? why did he? and when did he ? - Prove it now.
Secondly, if Khoza was this powerful why doesn't he influence everything to pirates's favor i.e. get bribe teams to lose to Pirates, bribe referees to win games for pirates, etc....
Your argument is baseless.

- A lose is a lose. Khoza feared the embarrassment and decided to withdraw. Khoza's puppets (PSL & others like u digga) are just crying for nothing. It is done and final, Khoza is not the SAFA president like you all wished. The withdrawal of Jordaan was good for South Africa and it's cause to deal with dictators like Khoza. He was dealt with accordingly.

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2009-09-29 18:56

These elections were not handle properly. Jordaan, is a snake. FIFA on the other hand, they abuse power by ensuring that Khoza dont get that position. Truth to be told, the elections leaves a lot to be desired. This reminds of Chuene on Caster Semenya saga. We turn agianst the IAAF, before doing some proper reaserch, and it have back fires on us... when Chuene admitted lies.... I mean people can be clouded by Hatred to Khoza, They forget that Khoza is a human being, and have rights to Challange the elections proccess. What is wrong when Khoza Challenge these elections?.... This is a democractic country.... Instead of Khoza being a dictator...people or commaetantors they becoming dictatorship by trying to discourage Khoza to challenge the outcomes. Emotions aside, these elections were not handle well..... FIFA and some Khoza haters they have a lot to explain......Jordaan is snake... I will never trust Jordaan.......

Soccer Critic ( Tivani ): 2009-09-29 19:00

If there is some flaws, Khoza or Jordaan, are allowed to complain.....This is a democratic Country.... why people wants Khoza to keep quiet? when he questions the elections?...... To be honest the elections were free, but not fair......Hate Pirates, But stand and preach the truth....people lets admit that The elections were not handled properly..........

TEBOGO: 2009-09-29 19:31

We first have to understand the relationship between SAFA and PSL,and after we understood this we will understand that PSL cannot dictate terms to SAFA. The second question should be which region is Khoza comming from. SAFA is made of regions and President Kirsten is a president of Vhembe. we should put our mind on this issue and avoid including our love for pirates for this will cloud our judgement.

we need to move beyond elections and focus on the world cup preparations.People must stop the campaign to blame Danny he withdrew from the race for the sake of soccer,after all he is the 4th best administrator in the world.Being in a position of power is all about serving your constituency and Nematandani will do exactly that and the Duke must swallow his pride and form part of the collective as the Deputy President.
SAFA REGIONS HAVE DECIDED AND FIFA WAS THERE SO LET US LIVE WITH THIS FACT.Khoza sucks he is standing against development,that is why the NFD is still poor.

Pls guys dont pretend as there was no any problems during the elections.....Instead of attacking Khoza look at the facts not a human being.....Neither Khoza or Joradaan, they are allowed to Challenge the elections processes.... I know u r happy Coz Khoza lost,..but u failed to acknowledge that they are allowed to Challenge the outcome... wait and see what would the court say.... U r not judges..... What if Khoza proves that The elections were not fair???? ....pls Guys play the issue not a human bein.....Our laws says u r allowed to Challenges the results of any elections.....This is part of the elections.... If Cope for instance, were not Happy when the ANC won the elections, they were allowed to Challenges them with proper eveidence.... I think Khoza have point to Challenge these elections.... You hatred to Khoza does not mean the elections were fair....I believe Somebody need to explain here, especially FIFA and Jordaan, puppets..... During the elections i saw Motoung, Ncobo & Hack laughing whilst Khoza was going to his BMW with pain..... The elections must be challenged.......

Sipho: 2009-09-29 19:47

Change is Good: Khoza must accept the loose, the problem he make was leading by micro technique. there were 2 sides on his platform, he shows differences between him & Jordan to the public just like former President Mbeki. I was checking on the profile of Kirsten, ya it looks impressive, but lets give him a change possible he can administer this SAFA differently but in a positive manner which will benefit our country.

Hey you digga moron, you're such a psychophantic fool. Just to illustrate that Khoza lost in the election, his faction wanted a certain region suspended and TFT did not support that motion, the chair, Mr Oliphant then put it into a vote and the TFT won. khoza was clever enough to know that it was as good as over from thereon, so yes, KHOZA DID NOT ONLY LOOSE BUT RANAWAY AS WELL.

He thought bribing the ANC ws gonna get him elected, fortunately the delegates were not fooled. Khoza hs stolen enough from our soccer!

Good people...to successfully transform SAFA into something more than what it seems to be, requires a total shift in thinking. Transformation entails putting aside a Khoza's typical bureaucratic approach with its resistance to change and its centralised powers.

Change is a constant phenomenon and the Khoza's of this world dislike it because it intrudes on all that is known to them.

Khoza must stop behaving in ways that promote selfish interest and coalitions, instead of the best interest of the organisation (SAFA).

TEBOGO: 2009-09-30 08:52

Tivani you projected yourself as a Khoza fan and all i am saying is we need to support football and not individuals.Those who are alledging that there is a rat under carpet they must take them out for all of us to see. I personally do not hate Khoza and all i am saying is in the spirit of our football. to those who follow soccer do you remember that it was Oliphant who first indicated that Mr Nematandani is a capable leader who must take SAFA forward.
Leave all courts and go forward and support Kirsten for he is the president and this will improve and develop our football.

Nosi: 2009-09-30 09:10

People let thier hate for pirates and Khoza cloud their reasoning. Most of these people are Kaizer Thiefs. What wrong did Khoza do? Why did Jordan use dirty tricks to stop Khoza? According to the constitution Joordan was not suppose to stand at all? When he withdraw we are told he has SA football at heart. I personally wanted Khoza to lose but fair. But thi Jordaan is a big Crook, i also did not want him to win but it seems like he won if the reports that the illigitimate president is his puppet.

Nosi: 2009-09-30 09:15

If Jordaan, his puppet president and transformation forum had so much support, why then did they have to employ dirty tricks to stop khoza. Why did they send two candidates from their camp against Khoza?

Jerome: 2009-09-30 09:22

Khoza must stick to where he belongs that's his team because he can't afford to be a 'BOSS' everywhere he goes, for an e.g Pirate, SAFA & member of the LOC. That is too much for one person, that's is called being greedy.

King99: 2009-09-30 09:25

Guys you can insult one another do whatever you like, but the truth of the matter is that for now Mr Nematandani is the president, and Mr Khoza's boss. The sooner the Mafia realises that just like Mbeki did the better for our soccer going forward. What is left now is for the Iron Duke to concentrate on his part of the 2010 world cup to be done, and resign afterwards from all SAFA and PSL positions.

Former football greats should come in and help run things at SAFA its been long overdue.

Power hungry people behaves like khoza. What he needs to know is that everything has an ending and his time is up. Those who are saying it is his right to question I totally disagree, his right was to contest the elections and he voluntarily withdrew. He must just get off his high horse and stop behaving like a brat.

Motlanalo: 2009-09-30 11:19

Danny Jordaan is a real snake. He said that his withdrawal was for national interest and that was a pure lie. He knew from the beginning that the constitution does not allow him to stand for election but, he went ahead and withdraw in the last minutes.

This is the same man who ignores the P.R.O of world cup committee as he is always on the news about issues of the World Cup while we have the Public Relations Officer or the marketing manager who should handle all media queries. He is full of tactics which are supposed to be used in politics and not in soccer.

For your information the same Jordaan is a former Member Parliament and his games would always be dirty. It is our football which suffers most because of people like Jordaan who knows nothing about soccer but, for his own benefit.

Dr. Khosa is the man behind South African soccer reform, its past, future and presents. He brought lots of sponsorships into our football and he is the man who came up with the idea of campaigning for the World Cup way back in 1998 when Charles Dempsey vote for France. The man never gave up until we won the bid to host the most prestigious football event in the world.

What is Jordaan’s contribution to our football? Nothing accepts bringing the SAFA and PSL into disrepute.

Thokozane: 2009-09-30 11:52

I read with high interest some of the comments made in this forum. one thing that stood out is the fact that two particular characters are so hell-bound to the fact that Khoza was hard done by in the whole election process. the two people I'm talking about are digga and Tivani.
Lets get the facts straight and I'm not looking for a fight, Khoza had problems with the illegibility of Jordaan to stand as SAFA president, citing all those reasons. Jordaan felt that he could not be held responsible for halting the elections, then decided to withdraw his candidacy before the elections. Khoza also withdrew and the reason is yet to be told. that left Nematendani to be elected unopposed.
Now the question is, why is Khoza challenging the results of the elections when he could have taken part? why did he withdraw in the first place, because had he gone through with the elections, we would be talking something different, like he was defeated, then we would understand when he challenges the results, maybe citing discrepancies. I personally feel that Khoza has no case because he voluntarily withdrew.
I also salute the FTF for putting forward two candidates and they made sure that one of the candidates get the position and that left Khoza frustrated. now digga and Tivani, get over it, khoza withdrew, so there is no need for him to challenge the results. stop fooling yourselves guys, the whole world is watching and laughing at you together with your boss Khoza!

Thokozane: 2009-09-30 12:09

and for calling Jordan a snake is not on. he si one of the people that feel khoza is not good for SAFA, hence the FTF masterminde this whole plan to make sure that he doesn't get his dirty ass in the president's seat. khoza is a ****** looser!

No need to tell us about Khoza and his success. He was not alone. Many people contributed and the greedy Khoza pocketed millions of rand. Khoza is a greedy selfish leader who thinks leadership revolves around him. History will put him along people who were power hungry and selfish like many African leaders. A dictator has been dealt with accordingly. He has been given a taste of his medicine. Many of us are still questioning the awarding of underachieving Pirates players and we believe it has more to do with the bulling of the same greedy Khoza. The people who know him much better didn’t support him; hence we have a different president. It shows that the era of all everything is coming to an end. This is a victory for the country that practice democracy and transformation.

Steven and other anti Khoza people

Please stop missing the point, and stop showing everyone that u don’t read.

Firstly Khoza is a chairman of the PSL which means , he never gets himself into those positions

But he is elected buy the people who trust his leadership, For your infor Boss, The people I am referring to forms a PSL committee which comprises of club bosses. If they feel Khoza is a suitable candidate, we all have to respect that since they know their constitution better than us,

To me u are all just Fans who envy Dr Khoza for all his achievements…..Read, read.

For your infor: Did u know that Danny Jordaan serves as board member for Morokwa Swallows.

As for the new SAFA boss(Nematendani), Again south Africans have settled for less after JZ

He he he Khoza must just let go and stop embarassing ourself and teh country abt being power drunk. No one is indespensible and has an autonomy to lead. The sooner he accepts and move on the better for everyone lest he wants to fight a distructive yet loosing was for his selfishness.

KING: 2009-09-30 13:16

CK its not Khoza who wants to lead, Its the PSL committe who feel secured when Khoza is leading. Its not Khoza's fault that he can run so many position and still be able to deliver.

Another Point guys, Please stop arguing on a membership basis, because in contrary Kaizer Snr, Motsepe etc are all in the Iron Duke Camp

If u want to disagree check who is on Khoza Camp, incase u dont read come back and i will tell u.

Thizo: 2009-09-29 23:35
I think we settled for Khoza's pic, because he is the focal point of the story, bearing in mind that their letter is about the Safa elections, where he was a candidate and also, because he was the one who was supposed to address the media. Point taken, my man and thank you.
