Mokoena says he's impressed with Patrice Motsepe’s leadership at CAF.

''I'm very impressed with CAF, particularly under the leadership of Dr Motsepe. This is one of the first few issues that I have seen CAF standing up to request for a factual report, so they can get a broader picture,'' said Mokoena.

In 2020 Mokoena, alongside former SAFA vice-president William Mooka, wrote a letter to FIFA to complain about Jordaan’s leadership at SAFA, the letter also included accusations of misappropriation of funds stating that the president was using the organisation's funds for personal gain. 

Mooka also opened a criminal case against Jordaan that same year that led to the recent raid. Mokoena says they never heard back from FIFA.

''When we submitted the complaint, they responded and said thank you we have received your complaint. But remember now it is our issue, it is no more your issue - so relax and go sit, we will call you,'' added Mokoena.

In a letter dated 06 March from the office of the SAFA CEO Lydia Monyepao, SAFA declared

Ledwaba a ‘persona non-grata’ within the organisation, the mother body then sent the former

Vice-President another letter on Tuesday night withdrawing her ban from football with immediate effect. Mokoena accuses Jordaan of making decisions on behalf of the NEC.

''This is what I said in 2020, the gist of my report was - the president is taking powers from the NEC and is doing things on his own,'' concluded Mokoena.

The former CEO has also raised concerns about the number of NEC members in the organisation, also stating that when he was still with SAFA in 2018, they took a resolution to have only 20 NEC members and he’s questioning why SAFA now has 47.
