The forensic findings of the audit report were instituted by the BFA, which is cited as the first respondent.
BFA had commissioned the audit report for the purposes of a disciplinary hearing against Mamelodi. He was later asked to show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken against him. Mamelodi, however, challenged the findings of the forensic audit and while the application was still pending before the High Court at the time, the association terminated his contract.
