Former SAFA officials banned by FIFA

Not even a pre-friendly World Cup is safe and honest. If the referee is giving 3 penalties in one preparation game before the 2010 tournament then you might think that something here stinks badly. This just proves that not even the match-fixers cannot do the scam 'right' as they want it to be or they are incompetent to do so.
South Africa FA (SAFA) has said today that three ex-officials are banned from FIFA. Leslie Sedibe an ex-SAFA chief executive has been banned for 5 years plus he has to pay a fine of 20.000 Swiss francs (18.232 euros) while two former SAFA referee chiefs Steve Goddard and Adeel Carelse were both banned for two years each. Of course these bans were (somehow) linked to another SAFA's ex-executive member and referee chief Lindile Kika who got suspended for 6 years last October by FIFA.
The worlds football governing body, who has conducted and investigated the above 3 active cases for the SAFA officials, has not yet identified the games in question. But it is strongly believed that matches against Thailand, Bulgaria, Colombia and Guatemala in May 2010 are the cause. The game against Colombia had 3 penalties, when one of them was ordered to be retaken twice after the initial efforts were saved. Four days later two more penalties were given to the home team against Guatemala. All that (presumably) was done so that South Africa was showing like a strong team before hosting the World Cup in their own country.
