Former national team coach Ephraim “Shakes” Mashabais running for a position in the South African Football Association (Safa) Council.
The 39 year old is expected to vie for a place on the governing body that gave him his marching orders.
This comes after he was sacked by Safa last year‚ and then embroiled in messy conflict over his contract payout‚
He is among 39 other candidates standing for 10 places on the Safa Council‚ formerly known as the national executive committee (NEC).
Mashaba is joined on the list of hopeful candidates by ex-Bafana Bafana striker Phil Masinga‚ Buti Mathathe‚ who heads up the legends organisation and was previously on the Bafana coach selection committee‚ and Sudesh Singh‚ who coached previously in Asia.
But they will be up against the odds as all but one of the current Council members are standing again.
The only one not to put himself up for re-election is Cape Town advocate Norman Arendse‚ who serves across a myriad of sports and recently acted on behalf for Ajax Cape Town in the Tendai Ndoro case.
