Politics is not related to morals... Machiavelli

So, Sepp Blatter has been reelected to the head of Fifa for a fourth time. It makes you wonder, how many corruption allegations does it take to get you thrown out of the top spot in these global sport organizations? With the interests of the public in mind, we will try to answer the question on a local, African level here.

Firstly, it appears that exposing corruption in African soccer can be hazardous to your health. The claims that Confederation of African Football President Issa Hayatou had been more focused on filling his pockets than producing the next Samuel Eto'o seem par for the course on the continent where, even in its first Fifa World Cup tournament, the prime mover for the South African bid's own brother couldn't help sticking his hand in the pot. As they say, it's a beautiful game. Too bad it's so chock-a-block with toads.
