Jordaan won the vote late Saturday with over 95 per cent of the votes, SAFA said, and earned another five-year term. Jordaan’s reputation has been seriously diminished since presiding over a successful first World Cup in Africa as head of South Africa’s organizing committee. Last year, South African singer Jennifer Ferguson alleged Jordaan raped her at a hotel in his home town of Port Elizabeth in 1993. Ferguson, a former political activist and South African member of parliament, formally opened a case against Jordaan with police this year. In an address to the SAFA congress, Jordaan said South Africa would now consider bidding to host the women’s World Cup and FIFA’s Club World Cup.
