Speaking outside the Cape Town Police Station‚ the party’s sports spokesperson‚ Solly Malatsi‚ said the cases were opened to “initiate a criminal investigation into the allegation”.
“The charges laid against Jordaan and Oliphant include fraud as well as corruption under Section 3 of the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act‚ 2004‚” Malatsi said.
Jordaan‚ now mayor of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro and current president of the South African Football Association (Safa)‚ was CEO of the Bid Committee when the alleged bribe was arranged in 2007. Oliphant was Safa president at the time.
