The Sport Stepping Foundation (SSS) has laid down the proverbial gauntlet with its legal pursuit to uncover why the proceeds of the Sports for Humanity initiative held in support and solidarity of the people of Palestine, did not reach the intended recipient.
While Safa CT claims no record or agreement – verbal or written – were undertaken between SSS and the region to split the profits, the records indicate that all the proceeds from the Freedom Cup were deposited into the region’s account.
What is also questionable, is the fact that Safa CT donated R100 000 to the Gift of the Givers out of the blue, and without following protocol and consultation of its members. It’s obvious this publicity was done to clear Safa CT’s guilty conscience while no funds reached the people of Palestine which was also one of the objectives the event was held as well.
Given Safa’s evasive attitude to account to the proceeds, it basically forced SSS’s hand to pursue their quest for justice. Below is a press release from SSS.
