adminJOHANNESBURG. – Ria Ledwaba insists that she will not give up in her fight to continue serving football after losing out to Danny Jordaan for the SAFA presidency at Saturday’s elective congress.
Jordaan won his third term as SAFA president by a convincing margin with 186 votes to Ledwaba’s 27 votes while Solly Mohlabeng amassed just 8 votes in a landslide win for Jordaan.
“I’m not disappointed at all,” Ledwaba said. “I knew the odds were against me when I came here but I think I fought a good fight.
“I still believe the South African Football Association needs change, that’s my belief and I believe I didn’t lose today, football lost a servant.
“I am in SAFA to serve, I was in SAFA for all these years to serve.
“You are going to hear a lot from me until Jordaan is out of football, I will not rest.
“I don’t think he is good for domestic football, I believe that he has done his part, he has done for all these years that he has been in football, but you cannot have a one-man show.
“That’s the truth, and they can say whatever they want but the bottom line is that’s how he rules the association.” – KickOff.com
