KZN President defends sponsorship secrecy amid financial scrutiny

SAFA KZN President Mazwi Mkhize has defended Danny Jordaan’s decision not to disclose sponsorship figures, saying revealing them would only expose how little South African football is actually receiving.

The comments come a month after SAFA’s appearance before Parliament, where the governing body faced tough questions about its finances and overall administration.

Jordaan also hinted he may run for a fourth term in 2026.

The most heated moment during the session came when Rise Mzansi MP Makashule Gana demanded SAFA reveal how much it receives from headline sponsors Hollywoodbets and 10Bet — both betting companies with a visible footprint in local football.

SAFA Chief Financial Officer Gronie Hluyo responded by saying the association could not reveal the details due to confidentiality clauses in the contracts it signed with the sponsors.

He maintained that disclosing the amounts would violate legal agreements.
