The case against four players accused of shirking national team duty - including former Bafana captain Teko Modise - is still to be set down as the wheels of justice at Safa look to be locked.
Safa said a meeting of its legal committee, set down for Thursday, is supposed to decide on a date for the prosecution of the quartet - more than six weeks after it was first announced that they would be forced to answer charges of "bunking" the recent Bafana tour of Australia and New Zealand.
The committee will be chaired by former local cricket boss Norman Arendse.
Modise, Oupa Manyisa, Thabo Matlaba and Sthembiso Ngcobo were informed by letter they would be charged after declaring themselves unavailable for matches in Sydney and Auckland.
"Even if a player is injured the correct protocol is that after being called up he must present himself for an examination by the team doctor. None of the players showed up," Safa spokesman Dominic Chimhavi said.
Manyisa and Matlaba are thought to have pulled out to go on holiday.
