In that meeting the three parties agreed that an independent judicial commission of enquiry would be set-up by the SA government.
The mandate of this judicial investigation would be limited to matters related to the case of irregularities related to friendly matches of Safa in the build-up to the 2010 Fifa World Cup. Additionally, Fifa proposed that one of the members of the Commission be Michael Garcia, the chairman of the investigatory chamber of the Fifa Ethics Committee.
