The South African Sunday Times published an email from the FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke in 2007, is placed in the leaves with the ominous payment of ten million US dollars from South Africa on the FIFA in the Caribbean in connection.

In the email Valckes to the then Vice-Minister of Finance Jabu Moleketi asks the Secretary-General, when the money should be transferred because Blatter and the then President Thabo Mbeki have already talked about it.

The South African Government and FIFA insist been of the opinion that the ten million for development aid programs have been sent to the Caribbean. The US authorities shall nevertheless assume that they were bribes for awarding the World Cup finals 2010 in South Africa.

This suspicion is supported by the fact that the former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner (Trinidad and Tobago had) access to the ten million dollars. According to the BBC, the accused by the US authorities Warner, who is on bail at large, branched parts of the money for his own purposes.
