The SA Football Association has responded to allegations made by former CEO Leslie Sedibe.Speaking on Tuesday, chairman of the Safa ethics committee, Poobalan Govindasamy, accused Sedibe of "confusing issues".Fifa banned Sedibe for five years on Monday from all football-related activities for charges relating to the match-fixing of friendly matches played in South Africa in 2010.He was also fined R311000.Sedibe claimed he refused to co-operate with Fifa investigators because Safa had refused him access to his laptop and its e-mail server to retrieve documents.Govindasamy says the information on the e-mail server at Safa House had nothing to do with match-fixing, hence Sedibe was not allowed access.Sedibe served as Safa CEO from January 2010 to February 2011.Govindasamy also denied Sedibe's claim that he was instructed by Safa lawyers to destroy any information on his laptop."He was told by our lawyers that 'you will delete whatever information you have on the laptop, because you are now using this information in another arena [during a radio interview]'."That's what the lawyers said, but they never told him to destroy any information related to match-fixing. You can't destroy those things," said Govindasamy.Despite Sedibe's claims that the laptop was collected by an unnamed Safa employee from his house in 2012 and that he had an affidavit to back up his claim, Govindasamy insisted that Safa never received the laptop."The truth of the matter is that he failed to return the laptop. Who did he give the laptop to? Who signed for it? He must mention the name," he said.Sedibe also insisted that he never had any dealings with Wilson Perumal, whose company, Football4U, fixed Bafana's friendlies ahead of the 2010 World Cup.In response, Govindasamy said Sedibe's signature was on the deal between Safa and Football4U."If Leslie did not do that as Safa CEO then all this issue concerning match-fixing would not have happened," he said."So we must not confuse issues. If Leslie has a complaint, he must refer those complaints to Fifa and he must take Fifa to the Court of Arbitration for Sport," Govindasamy stated...
