A Schoolboy Error By Jordaan's Detractors Clears Him Of Theft Charges

THE schoolboy error by the detractors of South African Football Association SAFA president Danny Jordaan has made a mockery of the fraud and theft charges he was facing.

Jordaan appeared before the Palm Ridge magistrate's court, south of Johannesburg, on charges of fraud and theft but these were withdrawn.

However, Jordaan will need to return to court in August to face other charges.

The charges have been driven by disgruntled former SAFA employees and former Safa NEC members.

The court heard that various payments close to R1m rand were paid to the President Hotel in Sea Point.
