WILLEM Coetzee, the long-serving South African Football Association secretary for the Northern Cape will retire at the end of the month.
Last month Safa Northern Cape issued a public invitation to potential candidates to apply for the post of secretary.
Coetzee, who was asked whether he was aware of the advert publicising the vacancy of his office confirmed that he will indeed retire at the end of the month. “Yes, I am going to retire. I am 60 years old.”
His departure follows shortly on the heels of the rearrangement in the management of the Safa delegation to the organisation’s headquarters in Gauteng following the conclusion of the associations’ elective conference which was held in June this year.
Shortly after the elective conference Gladwyn White, who had served in the Safa national executive committee (NEC) as one the vice-presidents, was reassigned to his original seat of president of the Frances Baard region. He remains a member of the Safa NEC.
White has been joined in the NEC by three colleagues from the Northern Cape, namely Emma Hendriks who serves there as the president of the ZF Mgcawu district, and Lebogang Riet who is the JTG district president of Safa.
Mosimane ‘Doc’ Mathe is the fourth Northern Cape member of the Safa NEC as he is the current Frances Baard deputy president.
