Where is South African Football going?

We were admitted back to international sports in 1994 after a long isolation and immediately won the African Nations Cup. Our standard was so high to such an extent that we predicted that by this time around we will be playing with all the international recognized football countries. Immediately after that, we started to drop the standard.
We are now rated number 85 in the Fifa World rankings which is very disgusting looking at our infrastructure and stadia. We keep making blunders that end up costing us fortunes and skillful player and talent. We recently held elections where Fifa objected on what FIFA instructed them to do and they did not listed. They all occupying high positions not because of knowledge of the game of football but devoured by their own inability of ruling and managing the game. Today our National team plays the worst soccer ever seen having the elections before the World Cup but all the SAFA opportunists and power mongers insisted on having it. But after that we are faced with court orders and legal issues where the very same people who insisted on having the elections are taking each other to courts and that is totally against.
