The SAFA Leadership Lied to Parliament on 3 June 2025 and Must Be Held to Account -- Here's the Proof

On 11 November 2025, former SAFA CEO, Dennis Mumble, wrote to the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee requesting the Committee to invoke its authority and recall the leadership of the South African Football Association (SAFA) for further questioning and to consider appropriate punitive measures arising from their willful misrepresentation of facts and lies they told during the Committee sitting of the 3 June 2025.

Section 56 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996) empowers the Committee to summon persons to appear before them, to give evidence under oath, and to produce documents. Section 17 of the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and Provincial Legislatures Act (2004) criminalizes the willful furnishing of false or misleading information. Rule 227 of the National Assembly Rules further requires witnesses to provide “full and truthful evidence.”

There is always more than one side to a story

On 16 May 2020, the then-SAFA Acting CEO, Adv Tebogo Motlanthe, circulated a document to a few selected SAFA Regions attempting to refute claims made by two former SAFA CEOs (Dennis Mumble and Gay Mokoena) concerning the conduct of the SAFA President, who had taken unilateral decisions on a wide range of matters which were unconstitutional at best and criminal at worst. This page outlines the sequence of events that led to the issuing of the reports by the two former CEOs and reveals the truth behind the allegations and how the SAFA President blatantly lied or obfuscated the facts surrounding the claims by the two former CEOs.
