The president of South Africa’s football federation has been arrested over allegations he used the organisation’s money for his own purposes. Danny Jordaan, a leading figure in bringing the 2010 World Cup to South Africa, had tried to get a court to halt Wednesday’s arrest a day earlier. The case has been adjourned to December 5. Jordaan, who was granted bail for 20,000 rand , denies any wrongdoing. The arrest stems from a raid by police on South African Football Association offices in March.
A police spokesperson said at the time the allegations were that between 2014 and 2018 “the president of SAFA used the organisation’s resources for his personal gain, including hiring a private security company for his personal protection and a public relations company, without authorisation from the SAFA board”. The 73-year-old’s co-accused, SAFA chief financial officer Gronie Hluyo and businessman Trevor Neethling, were also granted bail.
