Transnet tells Safa it's out and there's no turning back: Transnet is adamant it wants to cease its sponsorship of the Safa School of Excellence, despite the football body’s insistence that the rail company 'cannot' just up and leave.

Transnet is adamant it wants to cease its sponsorship of the Safa School of Excellence, despite the football body’s insistence that the rail company"cannot" just up and leave.

Last month, Sowetan reported that Transnet had written to Safa to inform the local football governing body that it intended to cut ties with the School of Excellence, which it has sponsored since 1994, helping it to unearth some of the best footballers seen in this country. “You can’t just divorce; we must go to court and get a divorce decree,” Motlanthe was quoted as saying, but it seems Transnet has made the unilateral decision to vacate the unhappy marital home.

“Transnet has been the sole funder of the school since its inception and its decision to exit the institution is not new. It was first raised with Safa in 2015. At the time Safa appealed to Transnet to allow more time to look at alternative support systems. Seven years later, this has not materialised,” Transnet said.
