The South African Football Association (Safa) and its president Danny Jordaan have given the Democratic Alliance's shadow sports minister Tsepo Mhlongo an ultimatum to retract the “unfounded remarks and defamatory statements” he made a few months ago by Friday or face legal action.

The DA's member of parliament was last week slapped with a letter of demand from lawyers instructing him to apologise and withdraw statements he made against the Safa president Jordaan in April.

“I will not retract any statement whatsoever. I will not be intimidated by Safa and Jordaan using federation money to take legal action against me. The report contained harsh criticism of how Jordaan allegedly rules Safa with an iron fist‚ and how dissent is apparently frowned upon within the organisation.

“The Safa should be blamed for allowing itself to be part of parcel of maladministration. The whole deserves to be dissolved and disbanded all together because it does not follow its own constitution. Jordaan is not fit to lead Safa in this era‚” Mhlongo said in April. “As a result of your remarks and allegations‚ our clients have suffered‚ and continue to suffer harm to their reputation.”
