In terms of the recommendation, NEC members will be awarded a once-off full and final payment of R2.5 million to be divided equally, the beneficiaries will exclude Safa president Molefi Oliphant, vice-president Irvin Khoza and the CEO of the 2010 Bid Committee Danny Jordaan.
Regional Executive members will also receive R2.5 million as a token of appreciation for the hard work they discharged in the 52 regions of Safa.
