The SAFA Congress on Saturday, 1 December 2018 considered a number of amendments to the Constitution, particularly those clauses\/ articles relevant to the elections of the SAFA National Executive Committee (NEC).<\/P>
The SAFA Congress approved to do away with the electoral committee but instead approved that SAFA could appoint an independent presiding officer to look over the entire process.<\/P>
The amendments are aimed at eliminating the cumbersome process of appointing an electoral committee which early this year resulted in drawn out SAFA Elections.<\/P>
The SAFA Council also recommended that proposed amendments relating to the National Soccer League (NSL) the Special Member should be deferred to a later meeting.<\/P>
In the interim, a broader consultation process will be undertaken with the NSL and other relevant stakeholders.<\/P>
Once the consultation process is completed, these will be submitted to Congress for consideration.<\/P>
Other minor amendments were done involving the Intergrity Officer, the role of CEO\/ General Secretary, the participation of SAFA President, Vice Presidents, CEO and Deputy CEOs in other structures of SAFA.<\/P>
SAFA will on Sunday, 2 December 2018 hold its Annual General Meeting at the Sandton Convention Centre where among other things, most of the operational report back will be presented.<\/P>
