A Phakaaathi source has revealed there is a dossier which his opponents are going to release soon which will allegedly reveal maladministration at Safa under his reign.
“From what I could read there are serious allegations against him and it is heavy stuff,” said the source.

Jordaan has previously been asked to step down but refused. Safa have publicly announced their support for Jordaan, even in the wake of the rape allegations.
The Safa president is currently in Madagascar as part of the Confederation of African Football Executive Committee, and has, in the meantime, appointed Xolile Nkompela, a Safa vice-president, as acting president of the association.
In the long-term, however, Jordaan appears to have no intention of stepping down, even in the face of a criminal charge of rape laid against him by Jennifer Ferguson.
Safa, indeed, held a press conference on Thursday where they put their weight behind Jordaan, speaking in a statement of “a trial by the media”, adding that “every person, with no exception, is presumed innocent until proven guilty by the courts of law”.
