Jordaan will thus be in charge of SAFA for the next four years. He had originally been elected in 2013, succeeding Kirsten Nematandani.
The build-up to the elections had been mired by controversy, and on Friday matters took a different turn when SAFA NEC members verbally abused and manhandled members of the media at a press conference at the Sandton Convention Centre.
