The spat began after Mhlongo called for Jordaan's suspension in comments which were published in the media in the wake of a damning leaked report from former acting CEO Gay Mokoena in April.

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.”
