Vincent Tseka, team manager of the Bafana Bafana, is still awaiting a sanction from the Confederation of African Football after being sent off for a heated on-field dispute during the Liberia-South Africa game.
Tseka faced Ghanaian referee Daniel Laryea in an Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Liberia last month in Monrovia.
Tseka angrily collided with match officials and was loudly berated as he was not happy with the calls that day and other members of the technical team tried to stop him.
A SAFA official was unhappy with some calls he believed favored the hosts and his outburst earned a red card.
It doesn't matter, as Bafana won the game 2-1 to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations finals in January/February in Ivory Coast.
South African Football Association chairman Danny Jordaan insisted Tseka's free-kick should be decided by the CAF and not the SAFA.
"This is not a SAFA matter and all rules and disciplinary procedures are those of the CAF," Jordaan told iDiski Times.
“We cannot go to the CAF and start (our procedure). If a player is sent back there (in a CAF tournament), the CAF will sanction him.
“I don't know and I think you should ask the CEO [Tebogo Motlanthe] if CAF wrote anything about it, I have no information about it.
"But it was a CAF match and falls under the full jurisdiction of the CAF, not SAFA."
Former SAFA CEO Raymond Hack will be the one to issue the punishment for Tsece as he is the chairman of the CAF's eight-member legal body – viz.; Youssouf Ali Djae from Comoros, Mustapha Samugabo from Burundi, Issa Sama (Burkina Faso), Petro Neto (Angola), Pedro Alphonse Ayema (Benin), Badji Monbo (Congo), Soudatou Djallo-Kalkaba (Cameroon) and Boubacar Karamoko Coulibaly Mali .
