Overview
- The SAFA National Executive Committee endorsed Mosimane at an extraordinary meeting on Saturday but said a formal announcement will follow once contractual details are settled.
- Mosimane’s camp rejected an initial verbal offer of R5 million a year and demanded pay comparable to Hugo Broos along with a single package covering his three trusted assistants.
- Media reports say SAFA has increased its offer to about R10 million a year while talks continue between Mosimane’s representatives and SAFA executives.
- Mosimane is a high‑profile choice with multiple CAF Champions League titles for Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly and he would take charge ahead of September AFCON qualifiers against Guinea and Eritrea.
- The appointment process is moving under tight time pressure and within SAFA’s broader political calendar, including an elective congress on September 12, which could affect final approval and messaging.
