The South African Football Association on Monday announced that Advocate Tebogo Motlanthe has returned to take up the vacant position of COO.
Motlanthe previously departed the role of CEO last year for personal reasons where he had served for four years. Ms Lydia Monyepao was then elevated to the CEO role upon Motlanthe’s departure.
His return does however not come as a surprise as he has been working as a consultant for the association in recent months.

SAFA President Dr Danny Jordaan is elated to have Motlanthe back at the association, saying that he had already started his duties.
“The position of COO has been entrenched at SAFA but was vacant, so we are happy that Adv Motlanthe has agreed to return,” Dr Jordaan told SAFA.net.
“We want to make sure that we have winning national teams, we want to strengthen schools sport, we want to qualify for the FIFA Women’s and Men’s World Cups, AFCON and WAFCON, strengthen our administration and also work on the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup bid.”
Motlanthe himself is delighted on his return and looks forward to contributing immensely.
“I am happy to be back and part of a collective that is working on making SAFA a world class organisation,” Adv Motlanthe said about his return to SAFA House.
