Yet in effect, Jordan 'won' the election because he founded the FTF last December along with Nematandani and Safa's two new vice-presidents: Mwelo Nonkonyana and Mandla Mazibuko.
"Both Danny and Kirsten agreed that whoever had the best chance of winning would be put forward and that is what happened, " said Dennis Mumble, Jordaan's right-hand man at the FTF.
If we look at the evidence from other countries, we should be grateful that we dodged the bullet of past attempts to change to FTF since it has not gone well for them by several measures.
