The public face of the 2010 south Africa World Cup and head of the  South  Africa  Football  Association  Danny  Jordaan  has sensationally been accused of rape by  well-known singer and one-time parliamentarian Jennifer Ferguson.

The offense is alleged to have taken place some 24 years ago according to  Ferguson, the   former African national congress member who claims Jordan “overpowered” her and “painfully” raped her in a hotel in Port Elizabeth.

The 66 year old Jordan has not yet responded to the allegations by Ferguson who now lives in Sweden and claims she had been moved by the growing #metoo campaign on social media to speak out even though, according to a  newspaper   publication, she “wrestled” with the question of whether to name Jordan.

In a Facebook post and subsequent blog, Ferguson claimed the attack took place following her unexpected nomination by the ANC to serve in South Africa’s first democratically elected parliament in 1994.

She claims Jordan came to her hotel suite after she had performed at a concert at a sports dinner.
