South Africa FA President Danny Jordaan Arrested on Fraud Charges

Jordaan, known for securing the 2010 World Cup for South Africa, faces allegations of misusing SAFA funds for personal gain.

Danny Jordaan, president of the South African Football Association, was arrested on charges of fraud and theft involving 1.3 million rand.
Jordaan allegedly used SAFA funds to hire a PR firm and private security for personal purposes between 2014 and 2018.
His arrest follows a police raid on SAFA offices in March, where electronic devices and files were seized for investigation.
Jordaan, alongside SAFA CFO Gronie Hluyo and businessman Trevor Neethling, appeared in court and were released on bail.
Jordaan denies the charges and had attempted to block his arrest, with a court hearing on his submission scheduled for Thursday.
