Ria Ledwaba and Safa could be headed for a nasty court battle after her lawyer confirmed she has been threatened with expulsion had she addressed Tuesday's press conference meant to reveal her election manifesto ahead of next month's Safa presidential poll.

Ledwaba and her team had called a press conference to launch her presidential campaign at the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg, but on Friday she received a letter from Safa CEO Tebogo Motlanthe warning her of possible expulsion should she continue with the launch.

“I engaged her. We went through the circular and as a lawyer, I pick my fights. I don’t advise my clients if I believe I’m not going to be able to win the case. “I had to decide on her behalf. Do I go and fight her expulsion in court when other candidates are campaigning or do I allow her the space? I don’t want to waste her time. I want her to focus on her candidacy.”
