Speaking at the Safa National Integrity workshop in Sandton this week, Mumble said everyone needs to get involved in eradicating match-fixing and manipulation.
“We need government officials to get involved, we need strict laws to work as a deterrent; in fact, for us to completely eradicate corruption within our football, we need everyone’s involvement,” said Mumble.
Mumble also urged people to report any suspicious activity in the local game.
“If you see suspicious activity and keep quiet, you are complicit in corruption, and you are liable. Everyone needs to be an ambassador for good governance.”
