In a stark warning to the South African Football Association (SAFA) , sports minister Gayton McKenzie has demanded the national team qualify for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup or he will be a loggerheads with the organisation.
McKenzie, who has made headlines in recent weeks for his vociferous support of South Africas sports stars excelling on the world stage, said he did not have confidence in SAFA president Danny Jordaan .
I dont have full confidence. Ive got full confidence in the rugby at the moment, McKenzie said, as quoted by
Because full confidence doesnt come with talk, it comes with results. Ive got full confidence in the rugby because the results are there to see. The results are not there with the soccer, the results are not there with the hockey, he said.
And Im not a man who gets overpowered and impressed with words. I like action. I told the man you are talking about, Dr Danny Jordaan, and I told Safa, Give me two deliverables. Im the ultimate accounting authority when it comes to football and sport in this country.
