WATCH: South African Soccer - Lost (or stolen) legacy. A tip of the iceberg. There's a new line of questioning brewing and it's huge.

South African Football Association FIFA - Defending the indefensible.

Thank you Carte Blanche for shining a light on SAFA.

You'd think at the minimum FIFA would at least launch an enquiry into the 2010 Fifa World Cup Legacy Trust with all the warnings and Red Flags.

SAFA now claim through their lawyers the Trust exclusively "belonged" to FIFA, amidst such claims of grants not reaching beneficiaries and SAFA's own close out report of the Trust only accounting for R200 million of R600 million, more or less.

Why is SAFA so hell bent on deflecting any duty of responsibility or care onto FIFA?

But the biggest question arising is why, if the 2010 Fifa World Cup Legacy Trust "belonged" to FIFA, why SAFA hurriedly sent out a SAFA 2010 Fifa World Cup Legacy Trust close out report to its regions on the eve of this story going out on air, in an attempt to take the sting out this tale.

Surely that was FIFA's job.

Unless... it wasn't.

It isn't.

Did SAFA and officials at the Legacy Trust circumvent the Trust Board of Trustees as it is seemingly suggested?

Fair question?

Stay tuned folks. This one is growing more interesting by the day.

In a village in Zeerust in the North West, 16-year-old Kutlwano Motswenyane plays soccer with his friends on a dusty field. He dreams of becoming an international football star.

But with scarce resources in this community, his future is bleak. This shouldn’t be the case. In 2010, South Africa hosted the FIFA Soccer World Cup. The reward for its success was a R450-million cash injection to form a Legacy Trust Fund to support and develop the game.

The Legacy Trust should’ve become South Africa’s soccer heritage but, more than a decade later, it’s been milked dry, providing no benefit to players like Kutlwano.
