Benefits of football turfs

Unaffected by weather and resistant to harsh climatic conditions

(rain, snow, drought, frost etc.).

Ideal for covered stadia or stadia where steep stands cast a great

deal of shade (artificial turf does not need sunlight).

Easy maintenance and low maintenance costs.

Fewer playing fields required, because it has greater longevity.

A variety of potential uses: training, matches and cultural events

can be held on the same turf.

Improved playing conditions, which remain constant all year round.

Football Turfs Program Consists of

52 Football Turfs:

Plan to build 52 Football Turfs in SA,

one in each SAFA region. Complete

with club house with change rooms and

ablution facilities, perimeter fencing and

training lights. This is one of the most

tangible legacies of the FWC.

It is also the most significant project that

the NLB has funded with arguably the

best value for money of all its grassroots

development projects

TRAINING

Progress to Date

Secured funding for 27/52 facilities from the National

Lottery

Agreed on locations with regional SAFA structures,

Provincial Departments responsible for Sport and

affected Municipalities.

Have now completed the first 27 football turfs and

clubhouses

Facilities are fully utilised and only positive feedback is

received

millions of young people through coaching.

It will upgrade facilities, infrastructure and human capacity in every local

municipality in the country, as well as every District and every Province.

It will bequeath the nation strong and competitive national teams that will

inspire the nation, build social cohesion, and unite us all in national pride.

Summary

THE MATCH-FIXING MATTER

SAFA

Match Fixing

07 October 2011 SAFA requested FIFA to investigate suspected match fixing in

matches that took place before the 2010 FIFA World Cup

The investigation commenced on 01 March 2012 when the FIFA Head of Security, Mr

Chris Eaton and his assistant, Mr Terry Stearns interviewed persons of interest in SA

Mr FIFA and Mr Stearns left FIFA in July 2012

The matter was reported to the Hawks and a file handed over to them in July 2012

The Hawks advised SAFA that a formal criminal complaint should be laid after receipt

of the report from FIFA

The NEC of SAFA decided on 07 December 2012 upon receipt of the report, the

President of SAFA should establish a Task Team to process it

The report compiled by the two gentlemen was submitted to SAFA on 14 December

2012

The Emergency Committee of SAFA (EMCO) which comprises the President, 4 Vice

Presidents and one NEC Member met on 15 December 2012 and decided to put the

people mentioned in the report on special leave.

A case was opened with SAPS on 17 December 2012 and their investigation is still

ongoing with the support of SAFA

Match Fixing Cont…

The NEC met on 04 January 2013 and decided to reverse the decision of the

Emergency Committee on grounds that the EMCO did not have authority to take such

decisions and further, that the decision violated the rights of the affected people

without due process.

During this meeting the Minister offered SAFA the support of Government

The NEC also decided that the report should be processed by the Legal and Security

Committees of SAFA

The two Committees met on 09 February 2013 and recommended to the NEC that a

Commission of Enquiry should be established to investigate the matter.

The NEC had a special meeting on 23 February 2013 and accepted the

recommendation of the two Committees to establish a Commission of Enquiry

SAFA and SASCOC on 05 March 2013 where a decision was taken that SASCOC

would approach the Minister to effect the decision to establish an Independent

Commission of Enquiry

SAFA learnt later that when SASCCO met the Minister, they recommended that a

Judicial Commission of Enquiry should be established

At the time of the meeting with SASCOC and the Minister, it was revealed that

SASCOC had received a dossier which documented alleged corruption and

maldministration at SAFA

Match Fixing Cont…

The Minister has made various media utterances wherein he indicated that the

envisaged commission would investigate match fixing and the allegations contained

in the said dossier

The statements from the Minister caused FIFA to write to the Minister and SAFA to

warn against the violation of FIFA Statutes 13 and 17 which prohibit government

interference in football affairs

The Minister and President of SAFA travelled to Zurich on 05 April 2013 where they

met the Secretary General of FIFA, Mr Jerome Valcke. This meeting decided that the

Independent Commission of Inquiry will deal exclusively with match fixing

The NEC of SAFA met on 06 April 2013 and endorsed the decision taken in Zurich

The Association was therefore completely surprised by a joint statement from the

Minister and SASCOC on 16 April 2013 which indicated that the commission would

investigate other matters related to SAFA. This was in clear violation of the decision

of the Zurich meeting.

The joint statement from the Minister and SASCOC caused FIFA to write a second

letter in which they reminded the Parties to respect the decisions taken in Zurich on

05 April 2013

Match Fixing Cont…

Independent Judicial Commission of Inquiry will deal exclusively with match fixing

of the Zurich meeting.

The statements from the Minister caused FIFA to write to the Minister and SAFA to

warn against the violation of FIFA Statutes 13 and 17 which prohibit government

interference in football affairs

SAFA takes this opportunity to place on record that it did not complain to FIFA about

the Minister’s interference but rather about SASCOC’S interference in affairs that

were within the scope and domain of SAFA

Summary: Match Fixing

We would like to take this opportunity to place on record that we did not complain to

FIFA about the Minister’s interference but rather about SASCOC’S interference in

affairs that were within the scope and domain of SAFA

This was in response to a letter from FIFA on 18 March 2013 in which they were

following up on media reports and wanted to know if Government was interfering in

the affairs of SAFA in any way

Notwithstanding that the dossier makes baseless and defamatory allegations, we

have nevertheless taken the liberty to respond to it in detail. (Please refer to the

attached documents)

We also wish to place it on record that we are in full support of a comprehensive

investigation of match fixing by the Independent Judicial Commission of Enquiry

We also place it on record that we are still in full cooperation with the Hawks who are

conducting their own investigation into the alleged irregularities in matches that took

place before the 2010 FIFA World Cup

SAFA Integrity and Anti Corruption Framework

There are worrying levels of corruption involving collusion by

referees and club officials in the lower divisions

24hr Independent Whistle Blowing Policy approved by the NEC in

2012

Whistle Blowing Hotline has been in operation since 2012

Regular meetings with the Hawks

Ongoing investigations into allegations of corruption in various

provinces

Ethics and Anti Corruption Policy approved by the NEC in March

2013
