According to reports, the raid targeted the office of SAFA President Danny Jordaan, with authorities seizing key documents.
The Hawks are reportedly investigating allegations of theft and fraud amounting to R1.3 million against Jordaan. These allegations stem from a period between 2014 and 2018, with Jordaan accused of misusing SAFA funds for personal gain.
