CAPE TOWN Herren Adidas NMD Racer PK Urban Racing Schwarz Rosa Schweiz , March 17 (Xinhua) -- South Africa will not allow its African citizens to be victims of global syndicates and subjects of unfair treatment by global bodies that show no regard to the sovereignty of the state, Minister of Sports and Recreation Fikile Mbalula said on Thursday.
He made the statement after FIFA lawyers wrote to three prominent football administrators in South Africa, requesting them to answer a barrage of questions on short notice about a corruption scandal.
"Though the three eminent South Africans expressed their willingness to me to co-operate with the investigators and FIFA lawyers, I have written to the Minister of Justice and Correctional service to request his intervention by forcing these capricious lawyers from undermining South African sovereignty and work through the relevant law enforcement agencies and diplomatic channels when dealing with our citizens Herren Pharrell x Adidas NMD Hu Trail Weiß Schweiz ," Mbalula said.
FIFA on Wednesday issued a statement indicating that they lodged a claim in a US Court to recover money from the individuals who abused their positions as FIFA representatives by misappropriating funds.
FIFA alleges that the individuals funnelled money allocated for football projects to their personal accounts. One of the items listed as part of the restitution claim is the $10 million dollars that were allocated for the African Diaspora and the Caribbean region.
