Calls mount for Tseka's axing over Bafana points deduction debacle

NEC members say team manager must pay for the blunder

- By Kgomotso Mokoena

Members of the Safa national executive committee (NEC) are up in arms, and calls for the head office to take disciplinary action against Bafana Bafana team manager Vincent Tseka are gaining momentum after the SA national team was docked three points by Fifa this week following a colossal administrative bungle.

Former technical director (TD) Walter Steenbok, before his departure, had also written emails and letters, warning and questioning Safa CEO Lydia Monyepao about the appointment of Tseka as a suitable candidate for the job.

Steenbok's submissions were brought to the fore again this week after the Fifa ruling.

Several enraged NEC members this week wrote scathing letters to Monyepao. The letters, which were seen by the Sunday World, were circulating in the NEC and other Safa WhatsApp groups.

The members in those letters are demanding that the CEO institute disciplinary proceedings for what they deem an embarrassing situation after coach Hugo Broos' team was sanctioned by Fifa.
