Embedded Safa NEC just happy to be on gravy train

They're too eager to sweep Mokoena scandal under carpet

The country is burning, and the masses are frothing at the mouth with uncontrollable anger, after Fifa docked Bafana Bafana three valuable points, putting the dream of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in jeopardy.

An administrative bungling, one of many, saw Bafana field ineligible Teboho Mokoena against Lesotho in Polokwane in March. Fifa investigated and sanctioned SA by docking three points and awarded Lesotho a mandatory 3-0 win.

Even though coach Hugo Broos took collective responsibility, he must have lost the little silver curly tops that were left on his cranium - his young guns punched above their weight and the nation has regained its respect and fearsome in the continent, only to be let down by dozy office bearers who have never kicked a soccer ball in their lives.

But to Safa's head honchos, president Danny Jordaan and some NEC members, this is just another scandal to sweep under the carpet. In a couple of weeks, the feeble diski supporters would have quietened down, Bafana will most probably qualify, and so what?
