The circumstances surrounding Mokoena’s resignation are subject to debate. Mokoena detailed his grievances with the association in a letter titled, ‘Mokoena Report’. The letter was sent to the national executive committee (NEC) members.

According to reports, the former acting CEO detailed his criticisms with the associations and Jordaan in the letter. However, this has led to a back and forth debate between SAFA and Mokoena about the details and allegations in the letter.
