ZIFA boss Philip Chiyangwa has been accused of lying about representing FIFA during his recent visit to South
Africa.

There was a meeting last month where an
agreement was reached between SAFA boss Danny Jordaan and Former SAFA presidential nominee Ace Ncobo who were embroiled in an electoral dispute.

Chiyangwa claimed he had been sent by FIFA to mediate on their behalf, before announcing that a treaty had been signed by both parties.

However, according to KickOff.com , Ncobo has since revealed that Chiyangwa falsely claimed to be representing the world football governing body, and
that FIFA have since sent Director of African and Carribean Member Associations Veron Mosengo- Omba to attend to the matter.

“We are happy with the progress we’ve made, we are not where we were when we started. The cancelation of the congress on March 24 was a major victory for this corrective campaign,” said Ncobo as he provided an update on his campaign to
overthrow the current SAFA leadership on
Wednesday.

“The fact that FIFA sent Veron from the president’s
office to come and take charge of what needs to
happen around the elections is another major
victory.

“FIFA came, not that maverick from Zimbabwe, who
lied and said he was sent by FIFA.

By the way, as
soon as I received a call from Sue Destombes – the
general secretary of COSAFA, saying Chiyangwa was
coming and had been sent by FIFA, I dropped the
phone and asked her for written correspondence
from FIFA.

“At the same time, I sent an email to the general
secretary of FIFA to say, ‘There’s a Phillip
Chiyangwa here, who purports to have been sent by
FIFA to come and mediate. Are you aware of that?’

“So, when I went to that meeting [on March 14], I
knew Chiyangwa had not been sent by FIFA, but I
needed that meeting because it was going to
produce an agreement; a signature.”
