Jordaan arrested

According to ScheduleLIVE, Falcons Spokesperson Colonel Katlego Mogale said they had issued arrest warrants for Jordaan, SAFA CEO Gronie Hluyo and another businessman on November 13, 2024.

The Hawks revealed that Jiordaan used SAFA resources for his benefit from 2014 to 2018, during which time he engaged the services of a communications firm to improve his image. It was after a African National Congress A deputy accused him of rape in 2017.
