6 August 2026 – The nominations for various positions that will be contested at the SAFA Elective Congress next month were handed over to the Governance Committee by the South African Football Association (SAFA) on Wednesday. SAFA CEO Lydia Monyepao handed over the files to Governance Committee members, Victor Mogajane (chairman), Tumi Dlamini, Abel Ramolotja, Shakespeare Hadebe and Anzel Laubscher at SAFA House in the presence of members of the media.
Monyepao said the Governance Committee, which is an independent body, will be tasked with dealing with any issues around the candidates, and checking whether they meet the criteria for nomination in terms of the SAFA statutes. She further said the documents submitted at the Press Conference held at SAFA House on Wednesday are of the candidates nominated in various positions.
“The aim of this Press Conference was to hand over all the files with all the nominations that we have received on 29 July 2026, which was the deadline for the submission of nominations for various positions within the SAFA executive committee.
“The SAFA Elective Congress is on 12 September 2026, and we have almost four weeks to work on these files before you. Our submission will be probably around 28 August 2026, and so we will hit the ground running in that regard,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Chairperson of the Governance Committee, Victor Mogajane said they really appreciate that they have been entrusted with this responsibility once more in 2026.
