The former SAFA CEO accused Danny of abuse of power and disrespect for other people. Jordaan retaliated by claiming that Dennis left the association after reaching his retirement age. However, Mumble later told SABC Sport this was not the case and called out Danny for being a bold-faced liar. According to the ex-SAFA CEO:
I decided not to renew my contract because of Jordaan’s incessant interference in operational matters. Nevertheless, I negotiated with SAFA to get a written guarantee that he would not interfere. That came to nothing. There was never a single moment where retirement age was part of a conversation because I was already nearly 60 when I was first appointed. So, he’s a bold-faced liar. The common denominator is that his interference, abuse of power and disrespect for others are palpable.
