Tebogo Motlanthe Explains Reasons Behind Resigning From SAFA! The advocate has cut ties with the association.
Tebogo Motlanthe resigned as SAFA CEO earlier this week. He has given the reasons behind this shock move.
Motlanthe was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer in 2021, before resigning recently.
“It is indeed true that I have handed my resignation and I have sent a letter (to the SAFA President) that I have signed.
“The one which is on social media, I would like to categorical say it is not my letter and I do not know. Mine has a signature and has my reasons.
“My reasons are personal and private.” He stated.
He has also clarified that there is no bad blood between himself and SAFA. He also supports the bid for South Africa to host the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
“I don’t have any bad blood with anyone, including the President. We worked very well with the President; he has been a father and he has guided me.
“It is just a personal decision that I have taken. I would like to thank the National Executive Committee, they have given me support, the regions, members and staff, I wish all of them all of the best.
“I support the bid for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. We started with the process with me being there and I’m not divorcing myself from it.
“I will continue to support it from outside. As I said to the President, wherever he needs me I will be available.
“We are not leaving each other on bad terms as it has been painted out there. There is no bad blood.
“It is just a personal decision.” He stated.
