A former senior official of the South African FA has been banned for six years by FIFA's ethics committee for his involvement in a match-fixing scandal before the 2010 World Cup.
Lindile "Ace" Kika resigned as SAFA's head of national teams last year after he was one of five officials named in a FIFA report.
According to Singaporean match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal, one match included an international friendly between South Africa and Guatemala in May 2010 which finished 5-0 to the hosts including three penalties.
Officials who have resigned from football are no longer exempt from ethics committee action, and Kika has now been banned "from all football-related activities at national and international level for six years", said a FIFA statement.
