South African Sports Minister Gayton McKenzie has accused the South African Football Association (SAFA) of failing to implement Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology despite the government releasing $1.75 million for the project.

mckenzie has given SAFA 23 days to take action and ensure the project moves forward.

He also warned that he is prepared to report the matter to FIFA if the delay persists.
