Safa won't back Sexwale's Fifa campaign, if they think he can't win - analyst

Fifa presidential candidate Tokyo Sexwale met with senior South African Football Association (Safa) officials who have been accused of neglecting his campaign.

Sports analyst Christophe Bongo on Wednesday said that the race for Fifa presidency is an endeavor of political influence.

If Safa believes Sexwale won't stand a chance to win, there is no shame in coming publicly for the world to know that they do not support a losing candidate.

— Christophe Bongo, SABC sports analyst

Listen to the full conversation from The Midday Report with Stephen Grootes:

Being a Fifa president has nothing to do with sports, it's a political and economic decision.

— Christophe Bongo, SABC sports analyst
