Jimmy Jump8/10/2010 2:22 PM: @ Maeko Mogale, you spot on, let thme critizise and batter his name, Mandela also spent 27 years in jail.

Tumelo7/31/2010 10:35 AM: Why are we south africans have so much to say,the money is not even paid yet,but already we're Critisizing come on people let's just give our safa leaders a chance to prove themselves and stop all this nonsense.

Maeko Mogale7/28/2010 8:23 AM: Dr Irvin Khoza is an undiputed vissionary when coming to matters of football and the brouhaha about some Danny Jordaan leading CAF is a laughable hallucination.Danny is a light weight when coming to matters of African football.Khoza transformed our football from a bankrupt,unproffesional NSL to a money spinning more organised PSL with sponsors knocking left ,right & centre and if we were serious about continuity and helping to transform continental football then Khoza is the right man.A combination of warlord empty headed Mwelo Nonkonyana and some Jomo Sono wont take our football anywhere.They did nothing for football and will continue to be liabilities to our football if not stopped.

folding7/28/2010 8:23 AM: R1bn = R2bn (folded in 2)

Brian Bennett7/22/2010 4:33 AM: I hope to see most if that money going direct into development. Maybe a bit for salaries but no new cars please! No scholarships to Chile or wherever. Money to audited by independant auditors. Put measures into place so we don't sit a year down the line and its all gone. I can almost feel that they cannot wait for that money. I bet cars and houses have been ordered already! Will that happen? Lets wait and see.

O GREAT ONE 7/21/2010 5:20 PM: Nolo Crackers???? mmm Give the money back to the Crackers, our money paid for the world cup

Agreement7/21/2010 3:37 PM: Amazing...development will never see a cent! This is the first list of comments that I have ever seen on here where EVERYBODY agrees! Lovely to see...

Vincent Mogofe7/21/2010 2:52 PM: Yes FIFA must attend all this consiquenses wth emediate effect. BUT some body can use it for his privacy.and resign Im telling you this is true.

Nolo7/21/2010 2:29 PM: Crackers!!!!! the money is for soccer development in SA,

sean @ Richie7/21/2010 1:52 PM: lol !! Will most prob. be one of them !

Marcus7/21/2010 1:25 PM: Totally agree with what's been said here. The taxpayer funded the worldcup therefore the money should be given back to the tax payer in some way. There is no need for SAFA to even see the funds as they get funding from the government.

M'rabaraba7/21/2010 1:21 PM: Nyathi, mfana wakithi . Firstly who is running ZIFA after Leo Mugabe?. now let us tell you the truth. Irvin is a vissionary not a stupid administrator. Irvin, Kaiser, Letaunyane, Sticks Morewa , Dereck Blackenstein and the Lawyer Norman Arendse were the architects of SA football transformation from NSL to PSL and this brought the organisation more than Twenty Sponsors and TV rights. The SAFA was constantly on the Red and he brought in Lucrative sponsors and cancelled all useless BEER sponsor and other ones that were not beneficial to South African Soccer. now you must understand that there is no SAFA or PSL sponsor that wants to negotiate any deal without the Iron Duke on Board. Pirates development is doing well. Where is the school of excellence?. When Khoza said we need to have an effective under 17, 19 , 20 , 21 and 23 so that it can be the feeder to the national team. Some Danny said this will not benefit any body we need to have players playing overseas to represent the country. Now choose the visionary or an oportunist.

M'rabaraba7/21/2010 1:09 PM: TA you are just like those who hate to see development taking place.First of all you attack the iron Duke Why?. He is the brain child behind the soccer development Remember when Capetown Spurs , Hellenic and Seven stars merged to become Ajax and He said "Why are we selling our football to the outsiders and not locals , because this will kill our soccer in ten years time" now look at what is happening, He prophecised about a first world cup in Africa and he worked tirelessly without doubt. People that don't know anything about football now just talk rubbish. When Reddy Direko asked the Defecto SAFA president about soccer he said "when we sit on the high towers of the society , we expect the schools to add soccer as part of their programmes" that is Bull kaka. He doesn't even know how much was spent on the infrastucture before the world cup and the Return on Investments"ROI". Ask the iron duke , he will give you the answer spotaneously and never doubt his intelligence.

Albert Einstein7/21/2010 12:55 PM: Fifa give the youth in SA soccer balls.... The fat cats don't know what to do with them. 1bn in their hands is equal to throwing it out the window............

Khalid7/21/2010 12:35 PM: FIFA should rather split the money amongst all the stadiums in order to keep their running costs lower. The magicians at SAFA will make the money disappear.

goalie7/21/2010 12:24 PM: "People with high credentials". What a joke, in fact a laugh a minute!!!...

anon7/21/2010 12:12 PM: Surely something of that nature, is agreed upon in the beginning, can anyone say contracts? We are all thankful for allowing of SWC in South Africa but cmon! grow a backbone!

Nick7/21/2010 12:06 PM: The SA TAXPAYER staged the 2010 FWC not SAFA, the money must be given to SARS and the PAYE reduced accordingly.

Lorenzo 7/21/2010 11:57 AM: I can tell you now... all the Top boys are getting fat (and i mean grossly obese) bonuses this year. I reckon around 5 million each minimum! I can guarantee you the money wont go back to the people of SA in any sort of way!

Ag nee7/21/2010 11:56 AM: "The money will be used for development". HA ha, who will be the underprivileged individuals in this case...management??

Derek Main7/21/2010 11:52 AM: "People with high credentials" sounds like people who will demand high salaries for doing this.

Nick7/21/2010 11:49 AM: Call me ignorant, but surely this figure should have been agreed to BEFORE the competition???

Saffer7/21/2010 11:42 AM: Why does Safa get the cash? It should be paid directly to our treasury, to the benefit of the whole country. We, the taxpayers, funded the event, after all.

TA7/21/2010 11:38 AM: Whatever the money you receive, make sure Mr.Irvin Khoza does not get closet to it with his budies, and invest in development, bring back school soccer programme, it will idnetify talents from the grassroots and feed to professional league like the PSL, and Bafana Bafana will benfit

Richie7/21/2010 11:34 AM: Apparently the following people applied to manage the funds; Tony Yengeni, Zuma, Shabir Shake, Mal-ema, Floyd Shivambu? Money should be safe!!!

Julian7/21/2010 11:32 AM: Oh....so once again the 5 million tax payers have to cover a large portion of the costs to build stadiums,to improve transport, incuding paying higher electricity tarrifs, etc. However, the Billion that SAFA may receive will be used for "development" purposes....yes...I will develop a new house in Sandton...and I will develop a new Merc AMG...and I will develop an Armani suit...etc. Goodbye one Billion rands....screw the tax payers....screw the people....

Jungle7/21/2010 11:06 AM: Hahahaha, if it is R1bn it will grow to R2- shortly.

jgreeff7/21/2010 11:03 AM: "people with high credentials" HA HA HA: I honestly think that Kirsten Nematandani is blind or doesn't know how to read. "people with high credentials" will manage a trust. So, all other funds misused are done by people with no high credentials. Can you believe it; this guy just solved all the financial problems in South Africa: just get people with high credentials to manage all funds in South Africa. I am pretty sure that in a year from now there will be headlines in the newspaper about how someone spent more than they should have or how contracts were given to family members and no work has been done or how money was misused on luxury cars, etc, etc, etc.

nyathi7/21/2010 10:59 AM: Please the new Safa executive, make sure Irvin Khoza and his henchmen are nowhere close to any of that loot.That man has killed SA soccer because of his greediness

jubs7/21/2010 10:53 AM: 'A trust will be formed...[and] will be managed by people with high credentials.' What...high corruption credentials??

OffShore 7/21/2010 10:51 AM: will be managed by people with high credentials.....................like who in the ANC is trustworthy all they will do is siphon off into there own needs

delboy7/21/2010 10:50 AM: what ever money is paid by FIFA to SAFA it should be held in trust and managed by the dept of finance - Pravan Gordin - as the whole country got behind this world cup and any monies spent should be based upon a proper budget, with a report back process to the country on the monies spent - fat cat bonuses should be out lawed NOW >
