World Cup bribery claims ‘an insult to Madiba and Tutu’
Nelson Mandela
NATIONAL NEWS - Danny Jordaan and the South African Football Association (Safa) “worked hard” and did not pay a $10-million bribe to secure the rights to host the 2010 World Cup.

Jordaan said this during an interview with Eyewitness News on Wednesday (29/06/16).

“I have not done a corrupt thing in my life‚” he insisted‚ before telling the interviewer: “Don’t cast aspersions.”

Jordaan‚ who is the African National Congress (ANC) mayoral candidate for the Nelson Mandela Bay metro‚ led the bid for the World Cup.

Nelson Mandela‚ and not bribery‚ had clinched the rights to host the tournament in South Africa.

“…Neither the FBI nor Fifa has ever said that South Africa bought the World Cup with bribes. It is an insult to Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu‚” Jordaan said.
