The Langa-Ndabeni LFA is set for an appeal hearing with Safa Cape Town on Wednesday at 18:30 at the Rygate LFA headquarters in Johnston Road.
This hearing is regarding the Mother body’s decision of the substitute Electoral Committee which was appointed after a caucus meeting with Safa Cape Town leadership before a Special Congress.
It’s believed that Langa LFA’s president, Zolisa Tungwana and Wanderers FC chairman Eric Gum will be present along with their legal advisor.
This follows after the region disqualified the nomination of Eric Gum (again) which means there is no opposition for Safa CT’s president, Bennet Bailey. The substitute Committee simply rubber-stamped the decision of the previous committee with no questions asked.
The “Electoral Committee Report” which was seen by No Bones with Jones, which was sent to the LFA’s a couple of weeks ago already.
The Report gives rise to many questions (inter alia):
1. Did the substitute Electoral Committee understand the ruling of the Safa Arbitrator on what they were required to do?
2. Did they understand that their role was not a rubber-stamping role, but they had to actually, engage in vetting of the nominations themselves?
3. Did they understand that their role was not a rubber-stamping role, but they had to actually, engage in vetting of the nominations themselves?
4. Why is the “Electoral Committee Report” not signed by anyone?
5. Was there a meeting of the substitute Committee which decided that people like Wanderers FC chairman, Eric Gum, must be disqualified again.
6. Is there an attendance register so that it can be checked who actually attended a
meeting and took the decision, if a meeting did take place?
7. Did they read the statutes of Safa Cape Town to check the eligibility of candidates?
8. Why did Safa Cape Town ignore the names of people with legal skills like Advocates
Charles Simon, Rod Solomons and Attorney Darryl Roelf who could have guided the
Committee to correctly interpret the Safa Cape Town statutes.
Was their exclusion deliberate?
