Ledwaba, in a recent interview, claimed she will not be shushed over her fight concerning the improvement of South African football, according to a report by iDiskiTimes.

"I won't be silenced; I will stand up. I'm not standing up because I'm Ria Ledwaba; I'm standing up for football," she said.

"The battle that I bring here, the fight of the [South African football] legends, should not stop with me, and they should not fight the same struggle I'm combating.

"At the burial ceremoney of Siphiwe Mkhonza, I told legends, and I will repeat it, Doctor Khumalo. The legends of this country have the power to change the status quo in SAFA, but you can only do it if you are united."

Ledwaba reiterates that the division among the South African football legends must stop while wagging a finger at Khumalo.

"This thing of you not being united, divided, being called – Doctor, you are being called to the office and [asked] 'Doctor, tell me which position do you want, which national team you want to coach?' It must stop!"
