Danny Jordaan, the president of the South African Football Association, was detained

Danny Jordaan, the president of the South African Football Association (SAFA), was taken into custody on Wednesday on suspicion of misusing the organization’s funds for personal gain.

On Tuesday, Jordaan, who played a key role in securing South Africa’s hosting of the 2010 World Cup, attempted to have his impending arrest stopped by a court. The matter has been postponed until December 5.

Jordaan, who was given 20,000 rand ($1,110) bail, says he has done nothing wrong.

The police raid on the SAFA offices in March is what led to the arrest. According to a police spokesperson at the time, the accusations were that “the president of SAFA used the organization’s resources for his personal gain, including hiring a private security company for his personal protection and a public relations company, without authorization from the SAFA board” between 2014 and 2018.

Jordaan, 73, appeared in the Palm Ridge magistrate’s court together with his co-accused, SAFA chief financial officer Gronie Hluyo, and businessman Trevor Neethling, who was also given bail.

They have been advised not to communicate with any of the 19 possible state witnesses on the list who might testify against them.

A request for comment from Reuters was not answered by Jordaan or the SAFA.

$1 is equal to 17.9902 rand.
