- On 12 September in Midrand, Jordaan defeated Sandile Zungu by 157 votes to 82.
- Eight hours after Safa’s recommended arrival time, Jordaan criticised journalists during a 25-minute monologue.
- Zungu accepted his defeat and remained unsure whether he would seek the presidency again in 2030.
- Jordaan’s fraud trial over alleged misuse of Safa funds will continue at Palm Ridge Magistrates’ Court in November 2026.
I don’t appoint myself in Safa, even if you think that way. Safa is a democratic organisation. Tomorrow [the members] can have a vote of no confidence in me and I’m out. Or I can decide that I want to go and they say no. So, you must really ask them why I am still here,— Danny Jordaan said during a post-election press conference after his re-election as Safa president in Midrand
