Introduction

► The goals of the new SAFA Leadership under my Presidency have

been defined and mapped out in a plan called Vision 2022.

► Vision 2022 is a fundamental rebuilding of the structures of SAFA at

all levels to create the conditions that will bring about the sustained

international success of our national teams.

► As a National Executive Committee we have set our sights on a

long-term development plan to achieve the goal of always being in

the top 3 of the African rankings, and in the top 20 of the World

rankings.

Presentation title

Financial Stability

► At the base of our future success lies a platform of financial sustainability.

► This was the most urgent matter that we had to address on taking office

► I am pleased to report that SAFA has now reached a point of financial

stability, in marked contrast to where we started in September 2013.

► At the last Congress it was reported that the Association had a deficit of

R48m for the financial year 2013.

► This followed on a loss in the previous year, and a cash deficit in the year

prior to that.

► Through great discipline, sacrifice, and a focus on generating new income

streams, we can happily report that the Association will achieve a financial

break-even position at the end of the 2013/2014 financial year.

frame-works and structures;

achieve the ratios of players to footballers that we require to be

competitive;

v) Ensuring that the correct level of football infrastructure (facilities,

match officials and administrators) exists at every LFA, Region and

Province;

vi) Utilising world class technologies at all levels;

vii) Ensuring that we incorporate the latest insights from Sports Science

Presentation title

Conclusion

► Late last year Bafana Bafana gave the newly elected

SAFA leadership a massive boost in the form of a 1-0

win over the World and European champions Spain.

► This landmark victory symbolised a new spirit at SAFA

as I embarked on a quest to reinvigorate the

Association.

► When I was elected to the Presidency nine months ago it

was a case of throwing away the drawing board and

starting on a clean slate.

► A new chapter was opened in the Association’s history

and we have begun the process of rewriting our own

destiny.

►

Presentation title

Conclusion

► Core to our future success is a concrete commitment to

development at the youth level and in this regard we

have moved forward in leaps and bounds, due in large

part to the continued support of our existing sponsors

and the addition of several new sponsors. I graciously

welcome our new sponsors; your venture into football

will open avenues for other corporates to follow and I

encourage them wholeheartedly to do so. There is no

greater satisfaction than to come on board early and be

able to witness and take part in the journey that will

ultimatley come to fruition in the elevation of our senior

national teams onto the world stage.

►

Presentation title

Conclusion

► The past few months have been difficult and painful ones for all

South Africans, following the passing on of our beloved anti-

apartheid icon and former leader. It is important, however, to never

lose sight of who the man was and what he stood for. Madiba was

not a quitter and was not after easy challenges. He set himself the

very highest goals and pursued those goals against all adversity and

all of us at SAFA must emulate his stamina and fortitude as we bring

forth a new era for football in this country. He gifted his Madiba

Magic to all of us, in particular to those of us in the football fraternity,

and we must now be the custodians of that gift, ensuring that his

magic lives on in our work and our efforts both on and off the field.

This can be the greatest tribute we pay to a man who will endure as

perhaps the greatest humanitarian of our time.

Presentation title

Conclusion

► Allow me to take this opportunity to welcome an

international coach to our Association. Women’s football

is the fastest growing sport in the world and in the year

that we celebrate 20 years of Banyana Banyana we

have brought on board a new coach for our senior side.

Vera Pauw comes to us as a former Dutch inter-national

who played professionally in Italy and who has coached

the Scottish, Dutch and Russian women’s national sides.

She will shortly lead Banyana Banyana to the 9th edition

of the African Women’s Championship in Windhoek and

we wish our ladies all the success that they deserve.

Presentation title

Conclusion

► South Africa will be bidding for the right to host the 2018 FIFA U20

Women’s World Cup and this will put the Association in an

advantageous position to bid for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup

and other prestigious tournaments.

► The strong credentials we have earned at FIFA since the hosting of

the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ stand us in good stead as highly

competent and fitting hosts.

► The hard work continues and I am privileged to have the backing of

a formidable group of people behind me.

► My sincere gratitude for the fantastic support from the Vice

Presidents, the NEC Members, the CEO of SAFA, the CEO of the

Development Agency and the staff of the Association and the 2010

FIFA World Cup Legacy Trust.

► My heartfelt thanks also goes to the South African Government and

the Minister of Sport and Recreation Fikile Mbalula for their

continued support and guidance.
