No decision on sports inquiry - Presidency

Sport and Recreation Minister Fikile Mbalula had written to the President requesting such intervention in terms of Section 84 of the Constitution.

Mbalula wants a judicial commission of inquiry to probe match-fixing allegations involving Bafana Bafana ahead of the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

By law, the President is the only person who can appoint a judicial inquiry.

"The matter is still being looked into, and such consideration will take into account the relevant legal framework and protocols governing football, domestic and international," the Presidency said.
