Football veterans and prominent figures in South African football have endorsed AmaZulu owner Sandile Zungu for the presidency of the South African Football Association (Safa), according to TimesLIVE Sport. The group of masters and legends of the game said Zungu's leadership would strengthen the sport in the country. The backing adds high-profile support to his candidacy ahead of the Safa leadership race.

SAFA presidential candidate Sandile Zungu has issued a warning ahead of the association's elections, threatening to dismiss officials responsible if Bafana Bafana players and technical staff do not receive their promised 2026 World Cup bonuses. According to IOL, Zungu made the remarks as part of his campaign, framing the unpaid bonuses as a matter of accountability within South African football's governing body. The dispute highlights ongoing concerns over player remuneration and governance at SAFA.

Businessman Sandile Zungu says he is confident of unseating Danny Jordaan in the South African Football Association presidential election scheduled for 12 September 2026. According to IOL, Zungu has alleged unfair candidate disqualifications, regional interference and possible vote-buying ahead of the vote. Jordaan has led SAFA for over a decade, and the contest is expected to determine the future direction of football governance in South Africa.

Sandile Zungu has accused the Danny Jordaan faction of using underhanded tactics ahead of a Safa congress showdown, alleging that some regions backing him were barred from participating. Speaking at a media briefing where he promised a 'new dawn', Zungu claimed the moves amounted to dirty tricks, according to Sowetan. The dispute centres on the leadership contest within South African football's governing body.

South African Football Association presidential candidate Sandile Zungu says he will push for the implementation of a video assistant referee (VAR) system in local football if he wins the election on Saturday. According to Sowetan, Zungu also apologised to McKenzie while outlining his plans ahead of the Safa presidential vote.

AmaZulu chairman Sandile Zungu has promised to take action on unpaid player bonuses if he is elected president of the South African Football Association (SAFA), according to SABC Sport. Zungu, who is campaigning for the SAFA presidency, also commented on the ongoing debate around the introduction of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in South African football.
