In response to the Stanton Woodrush statement on the Bafana Bafana trademark saga, the president of the South African Football Association (SAFA), Kirsten Nematandani, has reconfirmed that the association has appointed a three-member committee comprising the president, VP Danny Jordaan and Alpha Mchunu to look at changing the team's nickname.
"We look forward to engaging the nation in finding a new name. However, with respect to the current name, we will also look at any reasonable proposals from anyone, but the committee will continue with its work as mandated by the SAFA National Executive Committee on 5 February 2011," said Nematandani."The Association has directed a letter to all interested parties and we await a response to our communiqué to them in this regard. It is in the interest of SAFA to ensure that it receives an income from the exploitation of the trademark and we would not want to delay this process any further."
