Former Bafana Head of Performance Analysis has sparked a major controversy following his departure from the national team setup. The technical specialist, who played a key role during South Africa's historic run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has publicly vented his frustrations regarding unpaid financial incentives and a lack of basic team apparel.
Danny Jordaan has secured a fourth consecutive term as the President of the South African Football Association (SAFA) following a landslide victory at the elective congress in Midrand. The incumbent defeated challenger Sandile Zungu by 157 votes to 82, ensuring his leadership of the organization continues until at least 2030. Zungu was gracious in defeat whilst Jordaan immediately threw his weight behind the FIFA president's controversial FFE plan.
The former Orlando Pirates full-back's move to the Tshwane giants adds serious firepower to their defensive ranks. The arrival of the 29-year-old at Chloorkop hasn’t just bolstered Masandawana’s star-studded squad, but he is also tipped to challenge for a place in the national team setup.
The Masandawana winger has laid down a marker for his international ambitions, insisting he is prepared to put in the hard yards to earn a spot in the South African national team. The 22-year-old, who has impressed since his move from Golden Arrows, is eager to catch the eye of the newly appointed Bafana head coach.
Sandile Zungu and Danny Jordaan have spent months campaigning for the presidency of the South African Football Association (SAFA) by slinging accusations at one another. And now, as the conference is set to kick off the organisation has released a statement alleging the campaigning has gone too far.
