On December 4, 2024, the high court dismissed Ria Ledwaba and Solly Mohlabeng’s appeal to challenge the previous ruling by the same high court on the matter concerning the governance issues at SAFA affecting the Ordinary Congress and the Elective Congress, both of which were held in 2022.
In September 2023, Ria Ledwaba and Solly Mohlabeng challenged SAFA, NEC, and Danny Jordaan on the issues of governance about the resolutions adopted in the Ordinary Congress of 2022, particularly about the appointment of the Governance Committee and the flaunting of governance at the elective Congress in June 2023, particularly in the use of the same irregularly appointed governance committee to preside over the elections. The outcome of this matter was meted out in January 2024, with the high court ruling in favor of SAFA.
In February 2024, Ria Ledwaba and Solly Mohlabeng approached the court with an application for leave to appeal, which was finally entertained on December 4, 2024. The outcome of this application was again in favor of SAFA.
The respondents, Ria Ledwaba and Solly Mohlabeng, will study the ruling and decide on the way forward.
