Motsepe refuses to clarify Veron Mosengo-Omba’s status as he passes CAF’s mandatory retirement age

February 16 – Confederation of African Football (CAF) president Patrice Motsepe has refused to clarify the retirement of the organisation’s general secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba (pictured). 

CAF’s number two, and leader of the confederation’s executive function, has been accused of overstaying his allowable term in the role, but, at a news conference in Dar Es Salaam, Motsepe avoided specifics saying: “The retirement is governed by our rules and regulations. We deal with those things not just in accordance with legality but governance.
