In 2009, Nematandi was elected to be the president of SAFA. South Africa was the host of the FIFA World Cup tournament in 2010, while Nematandani was the president of SAFA.[1][2]
In December 2012, Nematandani was suspended as president after an investigation of FIFA into match fixing ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2010.[3]
In January 2013, he was reinstated as SAFA president but not exonerated. In September 2013, he was replaced by Danny Jordaan after failing to receive a nomination in the SAFA elections.[4]
In September 2015, the FIFA Ethics Committee started to investigate against Nematandani. He was found guilty of violating FIFA’s Code of Ethics in August 2016 and banned from any football-related activities for five years.[5][6]
