Mampara of the week: Danny Jordaan
SILENCE MOST FOUL
Many believe that if it were not for his dedication and hard work, South Africa would not have been able to stage an excellent 2010 Soccer World Cup.
Through the years, Jordaan has built a reputation as a no-nonsense football administrator who earned the respect of his peers and the nation. But if the skeletons that are tumbling out of his closet are to be believed, Jordaan is not only an alleged sex abuser, but he is alleged to have turned a blind eye to cases of sexual abuse under his watch at Safa House.
This Mampara is refusing to account for his actions and has declined to comment on claims that he forced himself on former ANC MP Jennifer Ferguson. It is now claimed that he also failed to protect vulnerable interns from an equally randy employee at Safa House. Zipping it is not enough...
