DEVELOPMENTS AT SAFA<br /> <br /> After the chief executive officer Advocate Tebogo Motlanthe resigned with<br /> immediate effect, the South African Football Association moved with great haste and<br /> appointed Lydia Monyepao to fill the vacancy. Monyepao is well-known in national<br /> football circles after her appointment in 2021 as SAFA&#39;s Chief Operations Officer.<br /> Monyepao is a former Banyana Banyana player and team manager. She becomes the<br /> first female to take up the role of CEO at SAFA on a permanent basis.<br /> In view of this appointment, Monyepao will be handily placed to spearhead South<br /> Africa&#39;s attempt to win the bid to host the 2027 Fifa Women&#39;s World Cup.
