Safa Vice-President Julian Bailey writes to Fifa asking them to investigate Safa's affairs
Safa Vice-President Bennt Bailey has confirmed he is behind Sandile Zungu's campaign and that they have written to Fifa to investigate the mother body.
Bailey said he is against current incumbent Danny Jordaan earning a fourth term as the association's president as they head into their elective conference in September.
“Last year December it was widely reported that the whole of the Western Cape supports Danny Jordaan for a fourth term. I'm from the Western Cape and there is no ways that I supported that. When we got to our elections we saw there was interference in our SAFA Cape Town elections and we speculated where it was coming from but we didn't really worry about it because we know we have the majority support,” said Bailey to SABC Sport.
"So, when we got to our elections it was still only one person who was going to run for a fourth term and we said no. This is not what South African football needs, we don't only need a change of face but a change of direction and football philosophy. When Sandile Zungu raised his hand, I said that is a man I can follow.
"We ask FIFA to conduct an investigation because there are a lot of things which happen with elections, and people are now going to court. We ask FIFA to investigate that, and if they are of the opinion that we are good to go for the 12th of September then we do that, but FIFA must decide."
