BFA denies snubbing Sexwale

Reports in neighbouring South Africa claim that from the COSAFA region, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia all snubbed Sexwale’s nomination. Sexwale, however, managed to garner enough nominations for him to make the final cut.  The former South African cabinet minister is among eight candidates who will battle it out for arguably sports’ most powerful position, the FIFA presidency.

Sebego yesterday dismissed claims the local soccer body declined to nominate Sexwale.
