Mbalula available for FIFA job

Cape Town - South Africa's Minister of Sport and Recreation, Fikile Mbalula, has tweeted his availability to become the next president of FIFA.

Shortly after the shock resignation of FIFA president Sepp Blatter, the Minister of Razzmatazz has "thrown" his name into the hat to take over world football's biggest job.

First came this tweet signalling his availability for the job:

Whatever happens to Sepp Blatter am available for FIFA Presidency #SeppBlatterResigns

Things escalated after one of his Twitter followers decided to "nominate" Mbalula:

Let's put this to a vote. RT for yes, FAV for No RT @Intemnandi: I nominate MbalulaFikile FIFA president ????"

Mbalula decided to share the results of the "vote", which he was clearly chuffed with - he even let FIFA know:
